Context of Matthew 25:17
15To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 16The one who had received the five talents immediately went and did business with them, and earned five more talents. In the same way the one who had received the two talents earned two more. 18But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money. 19“Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
