14"For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and delivered his goods to them.
15To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability, and he went on his journey.
16Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.
18But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord`s money.
19Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
20He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, `Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.`
