For it is just like a man about to travel abroad, entrusted his belongings to his slaves according to ability- 1, 2, and 5. At his return the first one said: "...I hid your talent in the ground." The master replied: "Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my coming I would have received it back with interest." (Matt. 25:15; 25:27) NWT
