Parable of the Talents
14“aFor it is just like a man babout to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.
15“To one he gave five 1atalents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he bwent on his journey.
16“Immediately the one who had received the five atalents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.
17“In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.
18“But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his 1master’s money.
19“Now after a long time the master of those slaves *came and *asettled accounts with them.
20“The one who had received the five atalents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’
21“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and afaithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will bput you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your 1master.’
22“Also the one who had received the two atalents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’
23“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and afaithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

- *A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses.
- 1Or lord
