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.

30 And cast the unprofitable servant ainto the outer darkness. bThere will be weeping and cgnashing of teeth.’
