15 to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
16 Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
17 And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
18 But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
20 And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
21 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
23 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord.
24 And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
25 and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
26 His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
27 Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
