Matthew 25:27
Regardless of how much the man was given, he might have made at least a marginal profit. The talent could have been invested at the bank, and though this would likely produce a lower return than the other servants generated, it would have been easy enough to achieve. Thus, the master shows how miserably this servant failed. It was not that he was just a poor manager of the talent, but that he had the wrong attitude from the outset. He did not even try to do right by his lord.
