The Parable of the Bags of Gold.<\/strong>
\n14 \u201cAgain, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master\u2019s money.
\n19 \u201cAfter a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. \u2018Master,\u2019 he said, \u2018you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.\u2019
\n21 \u201cHis master replied, \u2018Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master\u2019s happiness!\u2019
\n22 \u201cThe man with two bags of gold also came. \u2018Master,\u2019 he said, \u2018you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.\u2019
\n23 \u201cHis master replied, \u2018Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master\u2019s happiness!\u2019
\n24 \u201cThen the man who had received one bag of gold came. \u2018Master,\u2019 he said, \u2018I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.\u2019
\n26 \u201cHis master replied, \u2018You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
\n28 \u201c\u2018So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

The Parable of the Ten Minas.<\/strong>
\n11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: \u201cA man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. \u2018Put this money to work,\u2019 he said, \u2018until I come back.\u2019<\/em>
\n14 \u201cBut his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, \u2018We don\u2019t want this man to be our king.\u2019<\/em>
\n15 \u201cHe was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.<\/em>
\n16 \u201cThe first one came and said, \u2018Sir, your mina has earned ten more.\u2019<\/em>
\n17 \u201c\u2018Well done, my good servant!\u2019 his master replied. \u2018Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.\u2019<\/em>
\n18 \u201cThe second came and said, \u2018Sir, your mina has earned five more.\u2019<\/em>
\n19 \u201cHis master answered, \u2018You take charge of five cities.\u2019<\/em>
\n20 \u201cThen another servant came and said, \u2018Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.\u2019<\/em>
\n22 \u201cHis master replied, \u2018I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn\u2019t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?\u2019<\/em>
\n24 \u201cThen he said to those standing by, \u2018Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.\u2019<\/em>
\n25 \u201c\u2018Sir,\u2019 they said, \u2018he already has ten!\u2019<\/em>
\n26 \u201cHe replied, \u2018I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them – bring them here and kill them in front of me.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
