 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/25/19) After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/25/20) 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.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/25/21) 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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/25/22) 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.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/25/23) 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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/25/24) 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:
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/25/25) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, *there* thou hast *that is* thine.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/matthew/25/26) His lord answered and said unto him, *Thou* wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
