主說：「究竟誰是那又忠心又聰明的管家——受主人委任統管他家人、按時分發糧食的人呢？

「天國又好比一個人要出外旅行，就叫來自己的奴僕們，把他所擁有的交託給他們。他按照每個人自己的能力，一個給了五千兩銀子，一個給了兩千兩，一個給了一千兩，然後就出外旅行。那領了五千的，立刻用這些錢去做生意，另外賺了五千。那領了兩千的，也照樣另賺了兩千。可是那領了一千的，卻出去挖地，把他主人的銀子藏起來。「過了很久，那些奴僕的主人回來，與他們清算帳目。那領了五千兩銀子的，帶著另外的五千兩上前來，說：『主啊，你交託給我五千兩銀子，請看，我另外賺了五千兩。』「主人對他說：『做得好，忠心的好奴僕！你在少許的事上忠心，我要委任你統管很多的事。進來分享你主人的快樂吧！』「那領了兩千兩銀子的也上前來，說：『主啊，你交託給我兩千兩銀子，請看，我另外賺了兩千兩。』「主人對他說：『做得好，忠心的好奴僕！你在少許的事上忠心，我要委任你統管很多的事。進來分享你主人的快樂吧！』「接著，那領了一千兩銀子的也上前來，說：『主啊，我知道你是個嚴厲的人，不是你播種的地方，你收穫；不是你投放的地方，你收集。我懼怕，就去把你的銀子藏在地裡。請看，你的銀子在這裡。』「主人回答他，說：『你這又惡又懶的奴僕！你既然知道：不是我播種的地方，我收穫；不是我投放的地方，我收集，你就應該把我的銀子存到錢莊裡，這樣我回來的時候，可以連本帶利得回來。「所以，你們把那一千兩銀子從他那裡拿走，給那個有一萬兩的；因為凡是有的，還要賜給他，使他豐足有餘；那沒有的，連他有的也將從他那裡被拿走。把這個無用的奴僕丟到外面的黑暗裡去！在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。』

這樣，人應該把我們看做是基督的僕人、神奧祕之事的管家。在這裡，進一步要求管家們的是，各人都要被看做是忠心的。

每個人要照著自己所領受的恩賜來彼此服事，做神各種恩典的好管家。

而你這個兒子，這個與妓女們一起吞盡了你財產的，他一來了，你就為他宰殺了養肥的牛犢！』

沒過幾天，那小兒子就收拾了一切，往一個遙遠的地方去旅行了。他在那裡過著放蕩的生活，揮霍他的錢財。

「另一個上前來說：『主啊，請看，你的那一百銀幣，我一直保存在手巾裡。

因為，身為神的管家，做監督的必須無可指責、不任性、不暴躁、不酗酒、不好鬥、不貪圖不正當的利益；

在自己工作上也懶惰的，是毀滅者的兄弟。

為此，天國就好比一個君王，要與他的奴僕們清算帳目。他開始算的時候，一個欠了一千萬兩銀子的奴僕被帶到他面前。
