14 The Parable of the Talents.[a]“Again, the kingdom of heaven will be like a man going on a journey who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two talents, to a third one talent—to each according to his ability. Then he set forth on his journey.
