14For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.
16Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
17In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
18But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord`s money.
19Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
20And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
