Matthew 25:24-36

24“NowG1161 the one who had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 1talentG5007 alsoG2532 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, I knewG1097 you to be a hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 you did not sowG4687, and gatheringG4863 whereG3606 you did not scatterG1287 seed. 25And I wasG5399 afraidG5399, so I wentG565 awayG565 and hidG2928 your talentG5007 in the groundG1093. SeeG2396, you still haveG2192 whatG3588 is yoursG4674.’

26“But his masterG2962 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, ‘You 2worthlessG4190, lazyG3636 slaveG1401! Did you knowG3609 that I reapG2325 whereG3699 I did not sowG4687, and gatherG4863 whereG3606 I did not scatterG1287 seed? 27ThenG3767 you oughtG1163 to have 3putG906 my moneyG694 in the bankG5133, and 4on my arrivalG2064 I would have receivedG2865 my money backG2865 with interestG5110. 28ThereforeG3767: takeG142 the talentG5007 awayG142 from him, and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 talentsG5007.’

29“5For to everyoneG3956 who hasG2192, more shall be givenG1325, and he will haveG4052 anG4052 abundanceG4052; but from the one who does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he does haveG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142. 30And throwG1544 the worthlessG888 slaveG1401 into 6the outerG1857 darknessG4655; inG1563 thatG1563 placeG1563 there will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.

31“But whenG3752 7the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064 in His gloryG1391, and allG3956 the angelsG32 with Him, thenG5119 8He will sitG2523 on His gloriousG1391 throneG2362. 32And allG3956 the nationsG1484 will be 9gatheredG4863 beforeG1715 Him; and He will separateG873 them from oneG240 anotherG240, 10justG5618 as the shepherdG4166 separatesG873 the sheepG4263 from the goatsG2056; 33and He will putG2476 the sheepG4263 11on His rightG1188, but the goatsG2055 12on the leftG2176.

34“ThenG5119 the KingG935 will sayG3004 to thoseG3588 on His rightG1188, ‘ComeG1205, you who are blessedG2127 of My FatherG3962, 13inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for you 14from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 35For 15I was hungryG3983, and you gaveG1325 Me something to eatG2068; I was thirstyG1372, and you gaveG4222 Me something toG4222 drinkG4222; 16I was a strangerG3581, and you invitedG4863 Me in; 3617nakedG1131, and you clothedG4016 Me; I was sickG770, and you 18visitedG1980 Me; 19I was in prisonG5438, and you cameG2064 to Me.’
