4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough 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 while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.
14 For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man traveling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.

16 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
Then he that had received the five talents, went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
17 In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

20 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
And he that had received five talents, came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
His lord said to 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.

He also that had received two talents came, and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

His lord said to 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 he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter:
Then he who had received the one talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:
25 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [what is] thine.
26 But 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 did not scatter;
His lord answered and said to him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not strewed:

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.

32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
