25 And because I was afraid, I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours!’
26 But his master answered and said to him, ‘Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter seed.
27 Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I returned I would have gotten back what was mine with interest!
28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness—in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’
31 Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
