26. “The master answered, ‘You are a bad and lazy servant! You say you knew that I harvest what I did not plant and that I gather crops where I did not put any seed.
27. So you should have put my money in the bank. Then, when I came home, I would get my money back. And I would also get the interest that my money earned.’
28. “So the master told his other servants, ‘Take the one bag of money from that servant and give it to the servant who has ten bags.
29. Everyone who uses what they have will get more. They will have much more than they need. But people who do not use what they have will have everything taken away from them.’
30. Then the master said, ‘Throw that useless servant outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.’
31. “The Son of Man will come again with divine greatness, and all his angels will come with him. He will sit as king on his great and glorious throne.
32. All the people of the world will be gathered before him. Then he will separate everyone into two groups. It will be like a shepherd separating his sheep from his goats.
33. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
