MATTHEW 25:14-30 (KJV) "The Parable Of The Talents"
NOTE: A "talent" was a sum of money
equal to about two years wages.
14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into
a far country, who called his own servants, and
delivered unto them his goods.
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,
and to another one; to every man according to his
several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16
Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the same, and made them other five
talents.
17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained
other two.
18
But he that had received one went and digged in the
earth, and hid his lord's money.
19
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth with them.
20
And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more.
21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22
He also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I
have gained two other talents beside them.
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy lord.
24
Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where
thou hast not strawed:
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the
earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I
sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have
received mine own with usury.
28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto
him which hath ten talents.
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him
shall be much required:" (Luke 12:48b KJV)
