Matthew 25:15 Douay-Rheims

And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.

Jerome

c. A.D. 347–420 Patristic

Calling together the Apostles, He gave them the Gospel doctrine, to one more, to another less, not as of His own bounty or scanting, but as meeting the capacity of the receivers, as the Apostle says (1 Cor. 3:2.), that he fed with milk those that were unable to take solid food. In the five, two, and one talent, we recognise the diversity of gifts wherewith we have been entrusted.
