'Talents' in the Bible

When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.

Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'

"He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'

Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
