7 Then all those virgins arose and atrimmed their lamps.  
8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, ato each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.  
16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
