MATTHEW 25:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
His master said to him: well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. The identical commendation for the two-talent servant communicates the truth that the commendation is based on proportional faithfulness, not absolute return. The servant with five talents is not more commended than the servant with two. The word-for-word identical response is the parable's most important structural element.
