Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. [kjv]

19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. [kjv]

ειπεν ουν ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι [gnt]

The parable of the talents in Matthew is what Matthew wrote down.

The parable of the talents in Luke is what people remembered and told Luke some twenty years later.

The symbolism and double meanings in Matthew are, in large part, absent and a much more literal and embellished account appears.
