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

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every matter may be established by the word of two or three witnesses.'

So also, he who had the two talents gained two more.

He also who had received the two talents came and said, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents.'
