Matthew 25:27 in Context — Matthew 25

25 Y tuve miedo, y fuí, y escondí tu talento en la tierra: he aquí tienes lo que es tuyo.

26 Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Malo y negligente siervo, sabías que siego donde no sembré y [que] recojo donde no esparcí;

27 Por tanto te convenía dar mi dinero á los banqueros, y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido lo que es mío con usura.

28 Quitadle pues el talento, y dadlo al que tiene diez talentos.

29 Porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado, y tendrá más; y al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
