Matthew 25:24-29

24Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not scattered seed: 25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast what is thine. 26His lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed: 27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest. 28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath ten talents. 29For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
