But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].

Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?

Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.

Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.

But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;

and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.

But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.

His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,

and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.

Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:

Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.

But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.
