Matthew 25:14-16

Modern English Version

The Parable of the Talents^(A)

¹⁴ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them. ¹⁵ To one he gave five talents,^[a] to another two, and to another one, to every man according to his ability. And immediately he took his journey. ¹⁶ He who had received the five talents went and traded with them and made another five talents.
