Again, it will be like a man going on a journey who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.

To one, he gave five bags of gold to another two bags and to another one bag, each according to his ability.

Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his

money to work and gained five more bags. So also the one with two bags of gold gained two more.

But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hit his master's money.

After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. Master, he said, you entrusted me

with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more. His master replied, well done, good and faithful

servant. You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share

your master's happiness. The man with two bags of gold also came. Master, he said, you happiness the man with two bags of gold also came master he

said you entrusted me with two bags of gold see i have gained two more his master replied

well done good and faithful servant you've been faithful with a few things i will put you in charge

of many things come and share your master's happiness Then the man who had received one bag of gold

came. Master, he said, I knew that you're a hard man, harvesting where you've not sown and gathering

where you've not scattered seed. So I was afraid, and I went out and hid your gold in the ground.

See, here it is what belongs to you. master replied you wicked lazy servant so you knew that

I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seat well then you

should have put my money on deposit with the bankers so that when I returned I would have

received it back with interests so take the bag of gold for him and give

it to the one who has ten bags. For whoever has been given more, they will have an abundance.

Whoever does not have, even what they do have will be taken from them and thrown and throw out

the worthless servant outside into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
