Parable
Text from the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew
25:14-30
'It is like a man about to
go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in
proportion to his ability. Then he set out on his journey.
The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with
them and made five more.
The man who
had received two made two more in the same way.
But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground
and hid his master's money.
Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and
went through his accounts with them.
The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five
more. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with five talents; here are five
more that I have made."
His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you
have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with
greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
Next the man with the two talents came forward. "Sir," he said, "you
entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made."
His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you
have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with
greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
Last came forward the man who had the single talent. "Sir," said he, "I
had heard you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown and
gathering where you had not scattered;
so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here
it is; it was yours, you have it back."
But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew
that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered?
Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on
my return I would have got my money back with interest.
So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten
talents.
For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than
enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has.
As for this good-for-nothing servant, throw him into the darkness
outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
