- 1Math. 20.
The servants which received talents1 of their Lord and occupied them and gained moe by them, are praised and rewarded for well doing. But the idle servant which would not occupy the talent that he received of his Lord but went and hid it in the ground, gaining nothing therewith, was cast into utter darkness, where weeping and gnashing of teeth is.
