It's interesting that the older translations also imply the king expected his wicked servant to put the money in a bank to gain usury. Not interest. Explicitly usury.

interest and usury were viewed as the same thing, because you werent doing actual work to gain interest from the bank.

Yes, I say that's interesting because modern jews in the church like to portray them as separate things.

Them: “Well technically blah blah blah interest and usury is the same except usury is excessive interest blah blah blah”

Me: “No. That is the modern bank definition. That is not the historical definition.”

Yeah, I think traitorous monarchs in the middle ages used the same excuse which led to jews getting ahold of the banking system in the first place.

Jesus always taught in parables, in metaphors easily understood by the audience he was speaking to. That specific parable is about the talents and blessings God gives us, to spread and share them, and not bury them in the ground, as the bad servant did. Jesus knew who he was talking to, when he compared it to usury and banking.
