Matthew 25:24-27

24He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be aa hard man, reaping bwhere you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, cyou have what is yours.’ 26But his master answered him, ‘You dwicked and eslothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.
