Matthew 25:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Matthew 25:16-18 Common English Bible (CEB)
16 “After the man left, the servant who had five valuable coins took them and went to work doing business with them. He gained five more. 17 In the same way, the one who had two valuable coins gained two more. 18 But the servant who had received the one valuable coin dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
16 How someone could trade and double what they had is something I don’t understand but, the servant used what he was given from the master and he had more because of it. We should focus more what we have been lead to do then what others are given or lead to do.
17 This servant was given less but he still used what he given and doubled it. The servant did not complain that he was not given but used what he had and more was added. This servant was given less because the master chose to give him less for him to question what he was given is for him to question the master.
18 This is a waste of talent, the master gave him talent but he hid in a buried it, Some of us are given talents from the Master but for whatever reason we choose not to use them. This servant was not a good servant.
