Matthew 25:14-23

14“1For it is justG5618 likeG5618 a manG444 2about to goG589 on a journeyG589, who calledG2564 his ownG2398 slavesG1401 and entrustedG3860 his possessionsG5225 to them. 15To oneG3739 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 34talentsG5007, to anotherG3739G1161, twoG1417, and to anotherG3739G1161, oneG1520, eachG1538 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 abilityG1411; and he 5wentG589 on his journeyG589. 16ImmediatelyG2112 the one who had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 6talentsG5007 wentG4198 and tradedG2038 with them, and gainedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243 talents. 17In the sameG5615 mannerG5615 the one who had received the twoG1417 talents gainedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243. 18But he who receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talent wentG565 awayG565, and dugG3736 a hole in the groundG1093 and hidG2928 his 7master’sG2962 moneyG694.

19“NowG1161 afterG3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 the masterG2962 of thoseG1565 slavesG1401 cameG2064 and 8settledG4868 accountsG3056 with them. 20The one who had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 9talentsG5007 cameG4334 up and broughtG4374 fiveG4002 moreG243 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, ‘MasterG2962, you entrustedG3860 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 to me. SeeG2396, I have gainedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243 talentsG5007.’ 21His masterG2962 saidG5346 to him, ‘WellG2095 doneG2095, goodG18 and 10faithfulG4103 slaveG1401. You were faithfulG4103 with a fewG3641 thingsG3641, I will 11putG2525 you in chargeG2525 of manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 into the joyG5479 of your 12masterG2962.’

22“AlsoG2532 the oneG3588 whoG3588 had received the twoG1417 13talentsG5007 cameG4334 up and saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, you entrustedG3860 twoG1417 talentsG5007 to me. SeeG2396, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243 talentsG5007.’ 23His masterG2962 saidG5346 to him, ‘WellG2095 doneG2095, goodG18 and 14faithfulG4103 slaveG1401. You were faithfulG4103 with a fewG3641 thingsG3641, I will putG2525 you in chargeG2525 of manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 into the joyG5479 of your masterG2962.’
