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:
“Or, it is given to him who had gained five talents, that we may understand that though the Lord’s joy over the labour of each be equal, of him who doubled the five as of him who doubled the two, yet is a greater reward due to him who laboured more in the Lord’s money.”
