'Talents' in the Bible

As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.

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

The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work and gained five more.

The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, 'Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'

The one with the two talents also came and said, 'Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.'
