17 In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.

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, to another one; to each according to his own ability, and he went on his journey.

16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.

18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
