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