"except he who received" changed to "except him who received"
Original Paragraph:
P1916:4, 176:3.4
"As individuals, and as a generation of believers, hear me while I speak a parable:
There was a certain great man who, before starting out on a long journey to
another country, called all his trusted servants before him and delivered into
their hands all his goods. To one he gave five talents, to another two, and
to another one. And so on down through the entire group of honored stewards,
to each he intrusted his goods according to their several abilities; and then
he set out on his journey. When their lord had departed, his servants set themselves
at work to gain profits from the wealth intrusted to them. Immediately he who
had received five talents began to trade with them and very soon had made a
profit of another five talents. In like manner he who had received two talents
soon had gained two more. And so did all of these servants make gains for their
master except he who received but one talent. He
went away by himself and dug a hole in the earth where he hid his lord's money.
Presently the lord of those servants unexpectedly returned and called upon his
stewards for a reckoning. And when they had all been called before their master,
he who had received the five talents came forward with the money which had been
intrusted to him and brought five additional talents, saying, `Lord, you gave
me five talents to invest, and I am glad to present five other talents as my
gain.' And then his lord said to him: `Well done, good and faithful servant,
you have been faithful over a few things; I will now set you as steward over
many; enter forthwith into the joy of your lord.' And then he who had received
the two talents came forward, saying: `Lord, you delivered into my hands two
talents; behold, I have gained these other two talents.' And his lord then said
to him: `Well done, good and faithful steward; you also have been faithful over
a few things, and I will now set you over many; enter you into the joy of your
lord.' And then there came to the accounting he who had received the one talent.
This servant came forward, saying, `Lord, I knew you and realized that you were
a shrewd man in that you expected gains where you had not personally labored;
therefore was I afraid to risk aught of that which was intrusted to me. I safely
hid your talent in the earth; here it is; you now have what belongs to you.'
But his lord answered: `You are an indolent and slothful steward. By your own
words you confess that you knew I would require of you an accounting with reasonable
profit, such as your diligent fellow servants have this day rendered. Knowing
this, you ought, therefore, to have at least put my money into the hands of
the bankers that on my return I might have received my own with interest.' And
then to the chief steward this lord said: `Take away this one talent from this
unprofitable servant and give it to him who has the ten talents.'
