耶穌復喻曰：『天國猶人播佳種於田、

是知每人終須向天主述職也。

昔有人焉、將遠行、召其諸僕、託以家貲、

『昔有貴人適遐方、將受國而歸、召其僕十人至前、各授一金、而囑之曰：「以此營業、俟予歸家。」其國人素惡之、至是乃遣使追告、聲言不願其為王。迨得國而返、傳令召受金諸僕、欲一審其經營之所獲。一僕先至曰：「主之一金、生利十金。」主曰：「俞！忠僕哉！爾既忠於小事、可掌十邑。」其次至曰：「主之一金、生利五金。」主亦曰：「可掌五邑。」又次至曰：「主之金、依然在此、予受之即藏諸帕中。緣汝為人苛刻寡恩、不放而收、不播而獲、予甚懼主。」主曰：「惡哉僕乎！即以汝言、定汝之罪、汝既知予為人苛刻、不放而收、不播而獲、胡不以吾金存於錢肆、俾予歸時、亦得兼收本息乎？」遂命侍者奪其金、而畀諸獲有十金者、侍者曰：「主、彼已有十金矣。」主曰：「故予語爾、有得者當更益之、而無得者、並其所有而奪之矣。至我諸仇、不願予為其王者、曳來誅于吾前。」』

復又喻曰：『天國猶如芥子；

天國猶如田間寶藏、有人偶發、即掩之、忻然而去、盡售所有、購置新田。天國又如賈者之求美珠、

天國又如施罟於海、網羅所有鱗介、

耶穌又誨其徒曰：『昔有為富翁掌家者、人以其浪費財物、告其主、主召之曰：「聞人言爾、何竟至此、茲後解雇、其速交代、毋掌吾家。」

更喻之曰：『天國猶如酵母、婦人取而納諸三斗麵中、而麵全醱矣。』

耶穌曰：『是故士子而熟諳天國之理者、譬諸一家之主、庫中取物、新舊兼備。』

『汝其悔悟、天國伊邇。』

久之、主人返、與僕清計。受五千者、攜同贏餘五千以至、而白主曰：「吾主昔以五千金見託予茲又獲五千。」主曰：「俞、忠信之僕也？爾既忠於小事、將託爾以大事。其進而享乃主之樂。」受二千者亦謂曰：「吾主以二千金見託、予茲又獲二千。」主曰：「俞、忠信之僕也；爾既忠於小事、將託爾以大事。其進而享乃主之樂。」受一千者繼至、曰：「素知吾主刻薄寡恩、不播而穫、不散而斂；吾懼焉、因埋金於地；茲以原物奉璧。」其主應曰：「嗟爾惡而且惰之僕！爾既知予不播而穫、不散而斂、胡不以我之財、存諸錢賈、使予歸時亦得兼收本利乎！」亟奪其金、以授得有萬金之僕。蓋有者益之、使沛然有餘、而無者並其所有而奪之。其將斯無益之僕、投諸無明絕域、將有哀哭切齒者焉。

故望爾等在時機未熟之前、勿遽下評斷；務須靜候主之來臨。屆時、彼必燭幽揚隱、揭曉人心之思慮；而人人必得公允之褒獎矣。

『是時、天國將如童女十人、各持一燈、出迎新壻。

蓋人人皆須立於基督之審判臺前各依其本身所為之善惡、而受其報答焉。吾人既知畏之、不敢不勉人以善。吾人之肺腑、悉在天主洞察之中；深信爾等亦必能心領吾人之丹忱也。
