Matthew 25:24-29

24Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed,

25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’

26But his master answered, ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter?

27Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest!

28Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.

29For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
