The Parable of the Talents

14 a“For the kingdom of heaven is blike a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.  
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.
17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.
18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’
21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were afaithful over a few things, bI will make you ruler over many things. Enter into cthe joy of your lord.’  
22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’
23 His lord said to him, a‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into bthe joy of your lord.’
