Matthew 25
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to the bridegroom's gathering.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish,
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 foolish women, who, having taken their lamps, took no olive oil with them.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took olive oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 But at midnight a shout occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go ye forth for his gathering.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins were roused, and put their lamps in order.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us from your olive oil, because our lamps are going out.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there may not be enough for us and you. But go ye rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 But afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But having answered, he said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 For, like a man going on a journey, he called his own bondmen, and delivered to them the things possessed by him.
For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his personal ability, and straightaway he journeyed.
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 And having departed, the man who received the five talents worked with them, and made five other talents.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
17 And likewise also the man of the two gained two others.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 But having departed, the man who received the one dug in the ground, and hid his lord's silver.
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 Now after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes, and takes up accounting with them.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 And having come, the man who received the five talents brought five other talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered five talents to me, lo, I have gained five other talents besides them.
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 And also having come, the man who received the two talents said, Lord, thou delivered two talents to me, lo, I have gained two other talents besides them.
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 And the man who received the one talent also having come, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou are a hard man, reaping where thou did not sow, and gathering from where thou did not scatter.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And after being afraid, having gone, I hid thy talent in the ground. Lo, thou have thine own.
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
26 But having answered, his lord said to him, Thou evil and lazy bondman, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather from where I did not scatter.
His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou ought therefore to have placed my silver with the bankers, and having come I would have received back my own with interest.
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For to every man who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy agents with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
33 And he will truly place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in,
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me.
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and fed thee, or thirsting, and gave thee drink?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in, or naked, and clothed thee?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
39 And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
41 Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents. (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat, I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink,
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in, naked, and ye did not clothe me, weak, and in prison, and ye did not come to help me.
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or weak, or in prison, and did not serve thee?
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then he will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these least, ye did it not to me.
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
