THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

25:24Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25:25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

25:26His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

25:27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

25:28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

25:29For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

25:30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
