13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 For it is as if a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
16 And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
17 In like manner also he that had received the two, he also gained two others.
18 But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
