12 [25:24]And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord,
I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed,
and gathering where you have not scattered, [25:25]and being afraid I
went away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is
yours. [25:26]And his Lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful
servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather whence
I have not scattered? [25:27]And you ought then to have given my money
to the brokers, and at my coming, I should have received my own with
interest. [25:28]Take his talent, therefore, from him, and give it to
him that has ten talents; [25:29]for to every one that has shall be
given, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even
what he has shall be taken away; [25:30]and cast the unprofitable
servant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing
of the teeth.

angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory,
[25:32]and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall

was in prison, and you came to me. [25:37]Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or
thirsty, and give you drink? [25:38]when did we see you a stranger, and
take you in? or naked, and clothe you? [25:39]when did we see you sick,
or in prison, and come to you? [25:40]And the king shall answer and say
to them, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have done it to one of
the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
15 [25:41]Then shall he say to those on his left hand, Depart from me
