This parable is found in Matthew chapter 15 verses 14 - 30. The parable teaches that when the Lord returns, there will be true and false servants. In the parable Christ is the master. The three servants are given responsibility according to their individual abilities.The test of their service was not how much they earned, but how hard they tried. The two faithful servants received exactly the same commendation: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." The third servant had nothing but insults and excuses for his master. He accused him of being hard and unreasonable, reaping where he had not sown, and gathering where he had not scattered seed. He excused himself on the basis that, paralyzed with fear, he buried his talent. This servant was doubtless an unbeliever.
