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
The person who received five talents gained another five. There are some who, even without knowing how to probe into inward and mystical matters, use the natural gifts they have received to teach correctly those they can reach to strive for their heavenly home. While guarding themselves from physical wantonness, from striving after earthly things and from taking pleasure in things they can see, they restrain others too from these things by their counsel.
