Matthew 25:17

17 In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

Matthew 25:17 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 25:17

And likewise he that received two
Talents, or a lesser measure of ministerial gifts:

he also gained other two;
he worked and laboured, and traded, in proportion to the gifts he had received; and his improvements and success, under a divine blessing, were answerable.

Matthew 25:17 In-Context

15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to everyone as he was able; and he went on his journey.

16 Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.

17 In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

18 But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.

19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.
