    14 For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property.

    15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to everyone as he was able; and he went on his journey.

    16 Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.

    17 In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

    18 But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.

    19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.

    20 And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.
