Matthew 25:14

“For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.”

Verse in context — Matthew 25

But he answered, 'Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you.

Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

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.
