dug earth and hid

 

25:14 As for a man going from home called the his own slaves and delivered to them the goods of him. 15 and to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to the own ability and went from home. 16 Immediately going the one the five talents receiving traded in them and gained other five. 17 Similarly the one the two gained other two. 18 But the one the one receiving going away dug earth and hid the silver of the lord of him. 19 then after much time comes the lord slaves of those and takes account with them. 20 And approaching the one the five talents receiving brought other five talents saying: Lord, five talents to me thou deliverest; behold other five talents I gained. 21 Said to him the Lord of him: (Note: Jesus as Lord ) Well, slave good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many thee I will set; enter thou into the joy of the lord of thee. 22 Approaching also the one the two talents said: Lord, two talents to me thou deliverest; behold other two talents I gained.

23 Said to him the lord of him: Well, slave good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many thee I will set; enter thou into the joy of the lord of thee. 24 approaching. And also the one the one talent having received said: Lord, I knew thee that a hard thou art man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering whence thou didst not scatter; 25 and fearing going away I hid the talent of thee in the earth; behold thou hast the thine 26 And answering the lord of him said to him: Evil slave and slothful thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and I gather whence I did not scatter? 27 It behoved thee therefore to put the silver pieces of me to the bankers, and coming I would have received the mine with interest. 28 Take therefore from him the talent and give to the one having the ten talents; 29 for to having everyone will be given and he will have abundance; but from the one not having even what he has will be taken from him 30 And the useless slave cast ye out into the darkness outer; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.
