Verse
Matthew - ch 25 v 21 - 40
- His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
- And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
- His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
- But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
- And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
- And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
- Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
- Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
- For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
- And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
- And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
- And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
- Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
- For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
- Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
- Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
- And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
- Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
- And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
