them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
REFERENCE: Matt 25:16-17 (KJV)
16 Then he that had received
the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them
other five talents.
17 And likewise he
that had received two,
he also gained other
two.
