Matthew 25:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ For it is like a man who was about to take a long journey, and he called his servants together and entrusted them with his property.

¹⁵ To one he gave five talents [probably about $5,000], to another two, to another one—to each in proportion to his own ^[a]personal ability. Then he departed and left the country.

¹⁶ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he gained five talents more.
