Matthew 25:12-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. “But he replied, ‘I assure you: I do not know you! ’

13. “Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour.

14. “For it is just like a man going on a journey. He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them.

15. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one — to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey. Immediately

16. the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.
