Mt. 25:14‑30• 14Porque el reino de los cielos es como un hombre que partiéndose lejos llamó á sus siervos, y les entregó sus bienes.
15Y á éste dió cinco talentos, y al otro dos, y al otro uno: á cada uno conforme á su facultad; y luego se partió lejos.
16Y el que había recibido cinco talentos se fué, y granjeó con ellos, é hizo otros cinco talentos.
17Asimismo el que había recibido dos, ganó también él otros dos.
18Mas el que había recibido uno, fué y cavó en la tierra, y escondió el dinero de su señor.
19Y después de mucho tiempo, vino el señor de aquellos siervos, é hizo cuentas con ellos.
20Y llegando el que había recibido cinco talentos, trajo otros cinco talentos, diciendo: Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste; he aquí otros cinco talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
21Y su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
22Y llegando también el que había recibido dos talentos, dijo: Señor, dos talentos me entregaste; he aquí otros dos talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
23Su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
24Y llegando también el que había recibido un talento, dijo: Señor, te conocía que eres hombre duro, que siegas donde no sembraste, y recoges donde no esparciste;
25Y tuve miedo, y fuí, y escondí tu talento en la tierra: he aquí tienes lo que es tuyo.
26Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Malo y negligente siervo, sabías que siego donde no sembré y que recojo donde no esparcí;
27Por tanto te convenía dar mi dinero á los banqueros, y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido lo que es mío con usura.
28Quitadle pues el talento, y dadlo al que tiene diez talentos.
29Porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado, y tendrá más; y al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
30Y al siervo inútil echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.

Lc. 19:12‑26• 12Dijo pues: Un hombre noble partió á una provincia lejos, para tomar para sí un reino, y volver.
13Mas llamados diez siervos suyos, les dió diez minas, y díjoles: Negociad entre tanto que vengo.
14Empero sus ciudadanos le aborrecían, y enviaron tras de él una embajada, diciendo: No queremos que éste reine sobre nosotros.
15Y aconteció, que vuelto él, habiendo tomado el reino, mandó llamar á sí á aquellos siervos á los cuales había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había negociado cada uno.
16Y vino el primero, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha ganado diez minas.
17Y él le dice: Está bien, buen siervo; pues que en lo poco has sido fiel, tendrás potestad sobre diez ciudades.
18Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha hecho cinco minas.
19Y también á éste dijo: Tú también sé sobre cinco ciudades.
20Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, he aquí tu mina, la cual he tenido guardada en un pañizuelo:
21Porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres hombre recio; tomas lo que no pusiste, y siegas lo que no sembraste.
22Entonces él le dijo: Mal siervo, de tu boca te juzgo. Sabías que yo era hombre recio, que tomo lo que no puse, y que siego lo que no sembré;
23¿Por qué, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo demandara con el logro?
24Y dijo á los que estaban presentes: Quitadle la mina, y dadla al que tiene las diez minas.
25Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, tiene diez minas.
26Pues yo os digo que á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; mas al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.

with.
 The connection of "prophecy" as well as of the "laying on of hands" is well illustrated by Acts 13:2-3, where the Spirit designated Barnabas and Saul for the special mission to which they were separated. (On 1 Timothy 4:6-16 by W. Kelly)
 God had pointed him out to this end by prophecy; and this immediate testimony from God, to which the operation of His power was united, had been accompanied by the seal of testimony from man, that is, that of the elders among the Christians (compare Acts 13:1-3). (1 Timothy 4 by J.N. Darby)
 The gift had been given by prophecy, and by the laying on of Paul's hands (2 Tim. 1:6). It had not been given by the laying on of the elders' hands: they laid their hands on Timothy as expressing their fellowship with him. Thus encouraged, he was to beware of neglecting the gift through any natural timidity. (Warnings Against Religious Flesh and Instruction in Piety: 1 Timothy 4 by H. Smith)

Neglect not the gift that was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the handsa of the elderhoodb.

WK Translation Notes

a
There is a difference in the expression the Spirit of God employs, which shows that the communication of the gift (through prophecy) depended for effective agency not in any way on the elders but only the apostle. The particle of association (meta) appears where the presbytery are spoken of, that of instrumental means (dia) where the apostle speaks of himself. This distinction is not groundless. In {vi 27447}{/vi}, (met autōn), means "in connection with them," not "by them," like (di autōn) in verse 12.
b
There is slight support of the strange reading "the elder."
