Matthew 25:14-19 ▼

14 |Similarly, it is like a man going on a trip, who called his servants and turned his money over to them.

15 To one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip.

16 |The one who received five talents went out at once and invested them and earned five more.

17 In the same way, the one who had two talents earned two more.

18 But the one who received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and buried his master's money.

19 |After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
