MATTHEW 25:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.”
He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. The immediate and active response of the five-talent servant: went at once and traded. The at once communicates the urgency and initiative that the faithful servant brings to the entrusted resources. The five talents gained is the 100% return that the parable will commend.
