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.
25. So 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?
27. Then you should have brought my money to the brokers, and when I came I would have received it back with interest.
28. Therefore take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
29. For 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.
30. Throw 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.
32. All 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.
33. And He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on His left.
