Contextual Overview
14 For it is as if a man going abroad called his own slaves and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one indeed he gave five talents, and to another, two, and to another, one, to each according to his ability. And he went abroad at once. 16 And going, the one who received the five talents worked with them and made another five talents. 17 In the same way, the one with the two also did ; he also gained another two. 18 But going away, the one who received the one dug in the earth and hid his lord's silver. 19 And after much time, the lord of those slaves came and took account with them. 20 And coming up, the one who received five talents brought another five talents near, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I gained another five talents above them. 21 And his lord said to him, Well done , good and faithful slave. You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your lord. 22 And the one who received two talents also coming up, he said, Lord, you delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained two other talents above them. 23 His lord said to him, Well done , good and faithful slave. You were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take therefore the talent from him,.... This shows it was not special grace, which is intended by the talent; for the gift and calling of special grace are without repentance, and are that good part which shall not be taken away: but gifts may fail, cease, and vanish; they may be taken away from men, and men from them; a right arm may be clean dried up, and a right eye be utterly darkened:
and give it unto him which hath ten talents; for to diligent and laborious ministers of the word, more spiritual light and knowledge is given: but this is not to be understood, as though other men's gifts are, properly speaking, taken away from them, and bestowed on them; but that their gifts appear the more illustrious through the slothfulness of others.
