28 Otez-lui donc le talent et le donnez à celui qui a les dix talents.

Matthieu 25:28 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 25:28

Take therefore the talent from him
This shows it was not special grace, which is intended by the talent; for the gift and calling of special grace are without repentance, and are that good part which shall not be taken away: but gifts may fail, cease, and vanish; they may be taken away from men, and men from them; a right arm may be clean dried up, and a right eye be utterly darkened:

and give it unto him which hath ten talents;
for to diligent and laborious ministers of the word, more spiritual light and knowledge is given: but this is not to be understood, as though other men's gifts are, properly speaking, taken away from them, and bestowed on them; but that their gifts appear the more illustrious through the slothfulness of others.

Matthieu 25:28 In-Context

26 Et son maître lui répondit: Méchant et paresseux serviteur, tu savais que je moissonne où je n'ai pas semé, et que je recueille où je n'ai pas répandu;
27 Il te fallait donc donner mon argent aux banquiers, et à mon retour j'aurais retiré ce qui est à moi avec l'intérêt.
28 Otez-lui donc le talent et le donnez à celui qui a les dix talents.
29 Car à celui qui a, on donnera, et il aura encore davantage; mais à celui qui n'a pas, on ôtera même ce qu'il a.
30 Jetez donc le serviteur inutile dans les ténèbres de dehors; là seront les pleurs et les grincements de dents.
