Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
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 foolish, and five were wise.
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 For the foolish, taking their lamps, took no oil with themselves:
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 and the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 But the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and slept.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom! go ye out to meet him.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 And the wise responded, saying, No, lest there may not be a sufficiency for us and you: go ye rather to them that 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 they going to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage, 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 And afterwards the other virgins come, saying; Lord, lord, open unto us.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 And he responding, said; Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 For as a man going away, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods,
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 to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each one according to his own ability; and departed.
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 The one having received the five talents going immediately, operated with the same, and made other five talents.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
17 Likewise the one having received two gained two others.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord.
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 And the one having received the five talents coming to him brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me five talents: behold, I have gained other five talents.
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 His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou wast faithful over few things, and I will make thee ruler over many things: come 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 the one having received two talents, coming to him, said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents: behold, I have gained other two talents.
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 And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: come 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 one having received one talent also coming, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewn:
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 being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
26 And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn?
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 Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product.
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 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For to every one having it shall be given, and he shall superabound: but from the one not having shall be taken away even that which he has.
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 servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 But when the Son of min may come in His glory, and all His angels with Him, then will He sit upon 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 nations shall be gathered before Him: and He will separate them from one another, as a 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 place the sheep on His right, and the goats on His 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 on His right, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been 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 you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you 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 was naked, and ye clothed me: was sick, and ye visited me: was in prison, and ye came unto 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 respond to Him, saying; Lord, when saw we thee then hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, 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 saw we thee then 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 But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King responding will say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did these things to one of the least of these my brethren, you did them unto 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 will He also say unto those on the left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (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 you gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to 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 you took me not in; was naked, and you clothed me not; was sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
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 will they also respond, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto 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 will He respond to them, saying, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did not these things to one of the least of these, you did them not unto 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.
