Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip finds Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip say unto him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Where you know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called you, when you was under the fig tree, I saw you. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, you art the Son of God; you art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, believes you? You shall see greater things than these. And he says unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
For whosoever have, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever have not, from him shall be taken away even that he have.
And he said unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you meet, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of your lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have that is yours. His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which have ten talents. For unto every one that have shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that have not shall be taken away even that which he have. And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
John 1:44-51;Matt. 13:12;Mark 4:24;Matt. 25:14-30
