For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
All Commentaries on Matthew 25:14 Go To Matthew 25
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
The man setting out for foreign parts entrusted his goods to his servants, for he granted his spiritual gifts to those who believed in him. To one he entrusted five talents, to another two, to another one. There are five bodily senses, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. The five talents represent the gift of the five senses, that is, knowledge of externals; the two talents signify theory and practice; the one talent signifies theory alone.
