(109) Jesus said, "The Kingdom is like a man who had a [hidden] treasure in his field without knowing it. And [after] he died, he left it to his son. The son did not know (about the treasure). He inherited the field and sold [it]. And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure. He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished."

(24) What dost thou suppose the Master of the House will say to thee, when he shall require and demand his Talent which he entrusted thee with, thou having buried it in the Earth? Will he not say, Thou perverse wicked Servant, why didst thou not put my Talent out upon use, and then I could have demanded the Principle and the interest or Profit? Note:

(13) Therefore I will not bury his Talent in the Earth, but lend it out upon Usury or Interest, lest he should say to me at that Time of his requiring it of me, Thou wicked slothful Servant, why hast thou hid my Talent in the Darkness, and didst not put it out upon Use, and so now I might have received it with Usury, Gain, and Profit? And so then he will take it quite away from me, and give it to another, who hath gained many Talents with his one. Therefore I will sow, let him water it, I leave the Care to him. Now observe,

(63) Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same night he died. Let him who has ears hear."

(17) Here, my entrusted Talent, which I have received, I will let out for Rent, Profit and Increase, as I am commanded to do, and he that will deal with me in this Way of Gain or Usury, it shall be free for him, he may freely do it, whether he be a Christian, a Jew, a Turk, or a Heathen; they will be all alike advantageous to me; my Warehouse shall stand open for every one, let none fear exacting Tricks or Deceit, for he that comes to deal with me in Wares, shall be justly, rightly, and fairly dealt with.
