Matthew 25:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ “Then the servant who had been given one ·bag of gold [^Ltalent] came to the master and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a ·hard [harsh; exacting; demanding] man. You ·harvest things [reap where] you did not ·plant [sow]. You gather crops where you did not sow any seed. ²⁵ So I was afraid and went and hid your ·money [^Ttalent] in the ground. [^LSee] Here is ·your bag of gold [^Lwhat is yours].’ ²⁶ [^LBut] The master answered, ‘You are a wicked and lazy servant! You say you knew that I ·harvest things [reap where] I did not ·plant [sow] and that I gather crops where I did not sow any seed.
