Matthew 25:14-40

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. 29ForG1063 everyoneG3956 who hasG2192 will be givenG1325 more, andG2532 he will have an abundanceG4052. ButG1161 theG3588 one who does notG3361 haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he hasG2192 will be taken awayG142 fromG575 himG846. 30AndG2532 throwG1544 thatG3588 worthlessG888 servantG1401 intoG1519 theG3588 outerG1857 darknessG4655, where thereG1563 will beG1510 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 ofG3588 teethG3599.’

31

WhenG3752 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064 inG1722 HisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 angelsG32 withG3326 HimG846, He will sitG2523 onG1909 HisG846 gloriousG1391 throneG2362. 32AllG3956 theG3588 nationsG1484 will be gatheredG4863 beforeG1715 HimG846, andG2532 He will separateG873 the people one from anotherG575G240, asG5618 a shepherdG4166 separatesG873 theG3588 sheepG4263 fromG575 theG3588 goatsG2056. 33He will placeG2476 theG3588 sheepG4263 onG1537 HisG846 rightG1188 andG1161 theG3588 goatsG2055 onG1537 His leftG2176.

34ThenG5119 theG3588 KingG935 will sayG2046 to thoseG3588 onG1537 HisG846 rightG1188, ‘ComeG1205, you who areG3588 blessedG2127 byG3588 MyG1473 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 theG3588 kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG4771 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 35ForG1063 I was hungryG3983 andG2532 you gaveG1325 MeG1473 something to eatG5315, I was thirstyG1372 andG2532 you gave Me something to drinkG1473G4222, I wasG1510 a strangerG3581 andG2532 you took Me inG4863G1473, 36I was nakedG1131 andG2532 you clothedG4016 MeG1473, I was sickG770 andG2532 you looked afterG1980 MeG1473, I wasG1510 inG1722 prisonG5438 andG2532 you visitedG2064G4314 MeG1473.’

37ThenG5119 theG3588 righteousG1342 will answerG611 HimG846, ‘LordG2962, whenG4219 did we seeG3708 YouG4771 hungryG3983 andG2532 feedG5142 You, orG2228 thirstyG1372 andG2532 give You something to drinkG4222? 38WhenG4219 did we seeG3708 YouG4771 a strangerG3581 andG2532 take You inG4863, orG2228 nakedG1131 andG2532 clotheG4016 You? 39WhenG4219 did we seeG3708 YouG4771 sickG770 orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438 andG2532 visitG2064G4314 YouG4771?’

40AndG2532 theG3588 KingG935 will replyG611G2046G846, ‘TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, whateverG1909G3745 you didG4160 for oneG1520 of theG3588 leastG1646 of theseG3778 brothersG80 of MineG1473, you didG4160 for MeG1473.’
