8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9. But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

13. Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14. For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

16. Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
