Matthew 25:17

17 Likewise, the one with the two talents gained 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 To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.

16 The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.

17 Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.

18 But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

19 After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
