Matthew 25:24-36

24“Then the one who had received the one talent also came up and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.

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

26“But his master responded, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow and gather where I scattered no seed?

27Then you should have brought my money to the brokers, and when I came I would have received it back with interest.

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

29For to the one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

30Throw the worthless servant out, into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

31“Now when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33And He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on His left.

34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited Me in;

36I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
