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.
29 a‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
30 And cast the unprofitable servant ainto the outer darkness. bThere will be weeping and cgnashing of teeth.’
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 a“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the1 holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
32 aAll the nations will be gathered before Him, and bHe will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
