26. “But his master replied to him, ‘You evil, lazy slave! If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered,
27. then you should have deposited my money with the bankers. And when I returned I would have received my money back with interest.
28. “ ‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.
29. For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30. And throw this good-for-nothing slave into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31. “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
32. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.
34. Then 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.
35. For I was hungryand you gave Me something to eat;I was thirstyand you gave Me something to drink;I was a stranger and you took Me in;
36. I was naked and you clothed Me;I was sick and you took care of Me;I was in prison and you visited Me.’
