Matthew 25:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ “He gave $5,000 to one, $2,000 to another, and $1,000 to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities—and then left on his trip. ¹⁶ The man who received the $5,000 began immediately to buy and sell with it and soon earned another $5,000. ¹⁷ The man with $2,000 went right to work, too, and earned another $2,000.
