14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods 15 And unto one __ he gave five talents __ to another two and to another one to every man according to his several ability and straightway took his journey 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other five talents 17 And likewise he that had received two he also gained other two 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth and hid his lord's money
19 After __ a long time the lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth __ with them 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents saying Lord thou deliveredst unto me five talents behold I have gained beside them five talents more 21 His lord said unto him Well done thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy lord
22 He also that had received two talents came and said Lord thou deliveredst unto me two talents behold I have gained two other talents beside them 23 His lord said unto him Well done good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy lord
24 Then __ he which had received the one talent came and said Lord I knew thee that thou art an hard man reaping where thou hast not sown and gathering where thou hast not strawed 25 And I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth lo there thou hast that is thine
26 His lord answered and said unto him Thou wicked and slothful servant thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not and gather where I have not strawed 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury 28 Take therefore the talent from him and give it unto him which hath ten talents
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance but from him that hath not shall be taken away __ even that which he hath 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
31 When __ the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats 33 And he shall set __ the sheep on his right hand but the goats on the left
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world 35 For I was an hungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in 36 Naked and ye clothed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in prison and ye came unto me 37 Then shall the righteous answer him saying Lord when saw we thee an hungred and fed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink 38 When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in or naked and clothed thee 39 Or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them Verily I say unto you Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels 42 For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meat I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink 43 I was a stranger and ye took me not in naked and ye clothed me not sick and in prison and ye visited me not 44 Then shall they also answer him saying Lord when saw we thee an hungred or athirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee 45 Then shall he answer them saying Verily I say unto you Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal
