24. And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,
25. and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.
26. And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;
27. thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.
28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:
29. for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
30. And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
