14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his servants, and delivered to them his goods.15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, according to his own ability, and immediately took his journey.16 Then he who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and made them other five talents.17 And likewise he that had received the two, he also gained other two.18 But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's mony.
