19. But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20. And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21. His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22. And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23. His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24. But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25. And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26. And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27. Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28. Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29. For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30. And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31. And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32. And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
