The first and the second servants explain that they each put their talents to work, and have doubled the value of the property with which they were entrusted; each servant was rewarded:.

Parables: Stories of the Kingdom
Enter into the joy of your master. The third servant, however, had merely hidden his talent, had buried it in the ground, and was punished by his master:. See, you have what is yours. Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest! Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.
For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough.
But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. In Luke's Gospel Luke The objective of investing or trading during the absence of the master was intended to counter expectations of the immediate appearance of God's kingdom. Only the business outcomes and consequential rewards of three of the servants' trading were related. Additionally, Luke included at the beginning an account of citizens sending a message after the nobleman to say that they did not want him as their ruler; and, at the end, Luke added that the nobleman instructed that his opponents should be brought to him and then be slain as well as the unprofitable servant being deprived of his mina.
The parallels between the Lukan material the Gospel of Luke and Book of Acts and Josephus ' writings have long been noted.
Gospel of Mark
Eusebius of Caesarea includes a paraphrased summary of a parable of talents taken from a " Gospel written in Hebrew script " generally considered in modern times to be the Gospel of the Nazarenes ; this gospel was presumably destroyed in the destruction of the Theological Library of Caesarea Maritima in the 7th century by the Islamic invaders and has yet to be found. In that gospel, Eusebius writes that while the man who had hid the talent was rebuked for his burial, only the man who had received two talents had invested and gained a return on his investment.
The third servant in Matthew's version was condemned as "wicked and lazy", for he should have deposited the talent he received with the bankers Greek: In Matthew, the opening words appear to link the parable to the parable of the Ten Virgins , which immediately precedes it. Traditionally, the parable of the talents has been seen as an exhortation to Jesus' disciples to use their God-given gifts in the service of God, and to take risks for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
These gifts have been seen to include personal abilities "talents" in the everyday sense , as well as personal wealth. Failure to use one's gifts, the parable suggests, will result in negative judgment. The first two servants are able to see God in a positive perception, as "understanding, generous, and kind", while the third servant sees God as "harsh, demanding, and critical". The poet John Milton was fascinated by the parable interpreted in this traditional sense , [20] referring to it repeatedly, notably in the sonnet " When I Consider How My Light is Spent ":
