Parable of the Talents, is found in Matthew 25:14-30 in the Bible.
5,000 ,2,000 and 1,000 coins
A master was preparing for a journey. Based on the abilities of his three servants, he gave them 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000 silver coins, respectively, instructing them to earn more.The first and second servants took the 5,000 and 2,000 silver coins and diligently engaged in trade. However, the third servant was very lazy; he simply buried the 1,000 silver coins in the ground.When the master returned, the first two servants had doubled their money, earning an additional 5,000 and 2,000 coins. The master praised them, calling them good and faithful servants. He entrusted them with even greater responsibilities and allowed them to share in his rewards. But the third servant only returned the original 1,000 coins. The master said, “You are lazy and useless! You refuse to do anything!” So, he cast the servant into a place of darkness and gave his money to another servant.Effort, Utilize and Exert
Which servant are we?God has given each person different talents, and we must use them wisely instead of being lazy. Those who use their talents will receive even more blessings, while those who refuse to do so will lose even what they already have.Jesus said, “Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will taken from them.”（Matthew 25:14-30）
