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.
19. After a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
20. And so he that had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21. His lord said unto him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of your lord.
