Matthew 25:14
For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property.
Matthew 25:15
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to everyone as he was able; and he went on his journey.
Matthew 25:16
Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.
Matthew 25:17
In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.
Matthew 25:18
But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.
Matthew 25:19
Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.
Matthew 25:20
And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.
Matthew 25:22
And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.

Matthew 25:24
And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:
Matthew 25:25
And I was in fear, and went away, and put your talent in the earth: here is what is yours.
Matthew 25:26
But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,
Matthew 25:27
Why, then, did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I would have got back what is mine with interest?
Matthew 25:28
Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Matthew 25:29
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
