The Parable of the Bags of Gold<\/span><\/h3>\n

14<\/sup>Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.<\/span><\/span> 15<\/sup>To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a<\/a>]<\/sup> each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.<\/span><\/span> 16<\/sup>The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.<\/span><\/span> 17<\/sup>So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.<\/span><\/span> 18<\/sup>But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his masters money.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

19<\/sup>After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.<\/span><\/span> 20<\/sup>The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. Master, he said, you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

21<\/sup>His master replied, Well 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 masters happiness!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

22<\/sup>The man with two bags of gold also came. Master, he said, you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

23<\/sup>His master replied, Well 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 masters happiness!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

24<\/sup>Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. Master, he said, I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.<\/span><\/span> 25<\/sup>So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

26<\/sup>His master replied, You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?<\/span><\/span> 27<\/sup>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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

28<\/sup>So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.<\/span><\/span> 29<\/sup>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.<\/span><\/span> 30<\/sup>And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
