‹Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made› [them] ‹other five talents.›
‹And likewise he that› [had received] ‹two, he also gained other two.›
‹But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.›
‹After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.›
‹And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.›
‹His lord said unto him, Well done,› [thou] ‹good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.›
‹He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.›
‹His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.›
‹Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:›
‹And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,› [there] ‹thou hast› [that is] ‹thine.›
