Matthew 25:14-18 โ "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.

The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterโs money."
