(14 ) For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own "Pastors", and delivered unto them His goods. (15 ) And unto one "the kingdom of heaven" gave five souls, to another two souls, and to another one soul; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. (16 ) Then he that had received the five souls went and traded with the same, and made them other five souls. (17 ) And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. (18 ) But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his Lord's soul. (19 ) After a long time the Lord of those "Pastors" cometh, and reckoneth with them. (20 ) And so he that had received five souls came and brought other five souls, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five souls: behold, I have gained beside them five souls more. (21 ) His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. (22 ) He also that had received two souls came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two souls: behold, I have gained two other souls beside them. (23 ) His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. (24 ) Then he which had received the one soul came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: (25 ) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy soul in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. (26 ) His Lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful "Pastor", thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: (27 ) Thou oughtest therefore to have put my souls to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. (28 ) Take therefore the soul from him, and give it unto him which hath ten souls. (29 ) For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. (30 ) And cast ye the unprofitable "Pastor" into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The talents are Souls!
