The Parable of the Ten Minas from the Book of Luke describes a nobleman who gave ten servants minas and told them to invest the money while he was away. When he returned, the first servant had earned ten minas, the second earned five minas, but the third servant did nothing with the mina. The nobleman rewarded the first two servants but punished the third. This parable demonstrates the concept of investment and time value of money, as the first servant took more risks and earned a higher return compared to the second servant. It also shows the importance of investing rather than doing nothing out of fear like the third servant.
