Matthew 25:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 25:23

21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were ^afaithful over a few things, ^bI will make you ruler over many things. Enter into ^cthe joy of your lord.’

22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’

23 His lord said to him, ^a‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into ^bthe joy of your lord.’

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You ^awicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
