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.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

Or, the servant to whom two talents were committed is the people of the Gentiles justified by the faith and confession of the Son and of the Father, confessing our Lord Jesus Christ, to be both God and Man, both Spirit and Flesh. These are the two talents committed to this servant. But as the Jewish people doubled by its belief in the Gospel every Sacrament which it had learned in the Law, (i. e. its five talents,) so this people by its use of its two talents merited understanding and working.
