22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents besides them. 23. His Lord said to him, Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make the ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
22, 23. N. 1. The reward of Glory given for our diligent improvement of the mercies of this life, is consistent with the freeness of the gift. 2. God himself will praise the fidelity of his Servants, as worthy of praise. 3. Great rewards will crown the Faithful for little things here sincerely done. 4. It is our Lords own joy that the faithful shall enter partake of.
24. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed: 25. And I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the ground, Lo, there thou hast that is thine.
