23 "His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.’
24 "The man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a harsh man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed. 25:24 1Sm 25:3; 2Co 8:1225 So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
