- 2:33A lesson from the wisdom of Sirach. Here was a great priest whose life was acceptable to God and proved ever faithful to him. When the day of retribution came, he made amends for all.

A man who was going on his travels called his trusted servants to him and committed his money to their charge.
- 4:39He gave 5 talents to one, two to another, and one to another according to their several abilities. And with that he set out on his journey. The man who had received 5 talents went and traded with them until he had made a profit of 5 talents more. And in the same way he who had received two made a profit of two. Whereas he who had received but one went off and made a hole in the ground, and there hid his master's money.
- 5:22Long afterwards the master of those servants came back and entered into a reckoning with them. And so the man who had received 5 talents came forward and brought 5 talents more. Lord, he said, it was 5 talents thou gavest me. See how I have made a profit of 5 talents besides. And his master said to him, well done, my good and faithful servant.
- 5:57Since thou hast been faithful over little things, I have great things to commit to thy charge. Come and share the joy of thy Lord. Then came the man who had received the 2 talents. Lord, he said, it was two talents thou gavest me. See how I have made a profit of two talents besides.
- 6:24And his master said to him, well done, my good and faithful servant. Since thou hast been faithful over little things, I have great things to commit to thy charge. Come and share the joy of thy Lord. The offertory. I have found David my servant.
