The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it is just like a man going on a journey.(A) He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents;[a] to another, two; and to another, one—to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey.(B) Immediately 16 the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.

14 For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
16 And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
