Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made five other talents.
All Commentaries on Matthew 25:16 Go To Matthew 25
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
And there are some endowed with two talents, so to speak, who comprehend both theory and practice. They understand the fine points of interior matters and accomplish astonishing things outwardly. When they preach to others by both theory and practice, their business venture, so to call it, yields a twofold gain. It is good that another five and another two are said to have been gained, since when preaching is provided for both sexes the talents received are so to speak doubled.
