Matthew 25:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter? ²⁷ Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest.^{(A) 28} So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents.
