24 Mas, chegando também o que havia recebido um talento, disse: “Senhor, eu te conhecia, que és homem duro, que colhes onde não semeaste, e ajuntas onde não espalhaste;

25 E eu, atemorizado, fui e escondi o teu talento na terra; eis aqui tens o que é teu”.

26 Porém seu senhor lhe respondeu: “Servo mau e preguiçoso! Sabias que colho onde não semeei, e ajunto onde não espalhei.

27 Devias, portanto, ter depositado o meu dinheiro com os banqueiros e, quando eu voltasse, receberia o que é meu com juros.

28 Por isso, tirai dele o talento, e dai-o ao que tem dez talentos”.
