Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods. ¹⁵ And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own ability, and straightway went from home. ¹⁶ Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents. ¹⁷ Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two. ¹⁸ But he that receiued that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money. ¹⁹ But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them. ²⁰ Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents. ²¹ Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy. ²² Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more. ²³ His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy. ²⁴ Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not: ²⁵ I was therefore afraide, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne. ²⁶ And his master answered, and said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not. ²⁷ Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, and then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage. ²⁸ Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents. ²⁹ For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away.
