Matthew 25:14-28

14ForG1063 it is just likeG5618 a manG444 going on a journeyG589, who calledG2564 hisG2398 servantsG1401 andG2532 entrustedG3860 themG846 with hisG846 possessionsG5225. 15To oneG3739 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007,1 toG3739 another twoG1417 talents, andG1161 toG3739 another oneG1520 talent—eachG1538 according toG2596 his ownG2398 abilityG1411. AndG2532 he went on his journeyG589. 16TheG3588 servant who had receivedG2983 theG3588 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 at onceG2112 and put them to workG2038G1722G8462 andG2532 gainedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243. 17LikewiseG5615, theG3588 one with theG3588 twoG1417 talents gainedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243. 18ButG1161 theG3588 servant who had receivedG2983 theG3588 oneG1520 talent went offG565, dug a holeG3736 in the groundG1093, andG2532 hidG2928 hisG846 master’sG2962 moneyG694.

19AfterG1161G3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 theG3588 masterG2962 of thoseG1565 servantsG1401 returnedG2064 andG2532 settledG4868 accountsG3056 withG3326 themG846. 20TheG3588 servant who had receivedG2983 theG3588 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and presentedG4374 fiveG4002 moreG243. ‘MasterG2962,’ he saidG3004, ‘you entrustedG3860 meG1473 with fiveG4002 talentsG5007. SeeG2400, I have gainedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243.’

21HisG846 masterG2962 repliedG5346, ‘Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401! You have beenG1510 faithfulG4103 withG1909 a few thingsG3641; I will putG2525 you in chargeG4771 ofG1909 many thingsG4183. EnterG1525 intoG1519 theG3588 joyG5479 ofG3588 yourG4771 masterG2962!’

22

TheG3588 servant who had received theG3588 twoG1417 talentsG5007 alsoG2532 cameG4334 and saidG2036, ‘MasterG2962, you entrustedG3860 meG1473 with twoG1417 talentsG5007. SeeG2400, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243.’

23HisG846 masterG2962 repliedG5346, ‘Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401! You have beenG1510 faithfulG4103 withG1909 a few thingsG3641; I will putG2525 you in chargeG4771 ofG1909 many thingsG4183. EnterG1525 intoG1519 theG3588 joyG5479 ofG3588 yourG4771 masterG2962!’

24FinallyG1161, theG3588 servant who had receivedG2983 theG3588 oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 andG2532 saidG2036, ‘MasterG2962, I knewG1097 thatG3754 you areG1510 a hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 you have not sownG3756G4687 andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3606 you have not scattered seedG3756G1287. 25SoG2532 I was afraidG5399 and went outG565 and hidG2928 yourG4771 talentG5007 inG1722 theG3588 groundG1093. SeeG2400, you haveG2192 whatG3588 belongs to youG4674.’

26‘You wickedG4190, lazyG3636 servantG1401!’ repliedG611G2036G846 hisG846 masterG2962. ‘You knewG1492 thatG3754 I reapG2325 whereG3699 I have not sownG3756G4687 andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3606G3756 I have not scattered seedG1287. 27ThenG3767 youG4771 shouldG1163 have depositedG906 myG1473 moneyG694 with theG3588 bankersG5133, andG2532 on my returnG1473G2064 I would have receivedG302G2865 it backG1699 withG4862 interestG5110.

28ThereforeG3767 takeG142 theG3588 talentG5007 fromG575 himG846 andG2532 giveG1325 it to theG3588 one who hasG2192 tenG1176 talentsG5007.
