21. His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
22. And the one who had the two talents also came up and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents. See, I have gained two talents more!’
23. His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
24. And the one who had received the one talent came up also and said, ‘Master, because I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter seed.
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.
32. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33. And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.
34. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
35. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me as a guest,
36. I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
37. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38. And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you as a guest, or naked and clothe you?
