St Matthew 25:14-18  "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.  And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.  Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them and made another five talents.  And likewise, he who had received two gained two more also.  But he who had received one went and dug in the ground and hid his lord's money."
