Matt 25:14-18<br />14 For it is like a man who was about to take a long journey, and he called his servants together and entrusted them with his property. <br />15 To one he gave five talents [probably about $5,000], to another two, to another one — to each in proportion to his own personal ability. Then he departed and left the country. <br />16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he gained five talents more. <br />17 And likewise he who had received the two talents — he also gained two talents more. <br />18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
