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.`
21His lord said to him, `Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.`
22He also who got the two talents came and said, `Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.`
