Matthew 25:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.

²³ His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²⁴ But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
