Jerome, on Matt 25:14
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 25:14 · Douay-Rheims
“For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;”
On this verse:
“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.”
