Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto. x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?
9 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.
but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.
10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh.
Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey.
And vnto one he gave. v. talentes to another. ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Then he that had receaved the fyve talentes went and bestowed them and wanne other fyve talentes.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
Lykwyse he that receaved. ii. gayned other. ii.
18 But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
But he yt receaved ye one went and digged a pit in the erth and hyd his masters money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the.
20 And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo.
21 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.
The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
Also he that receaved. ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me. ii. talentes: beholde I have wone. ii. other talentes with them.
23 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.
And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye.
24 Then he who 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 scattered seed:
Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast what is thine.
and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne.
26 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 scattered seed:
His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath ten talents.
Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath. x. talentes.
29 For to 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.
For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.
31 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:
When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie
32 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:
and before him shalbe Gaddred all nacions. And he shall seperate the one from a nother as a shepherde deuideth the shepe from the gootes.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
And he shall set the shepe on his right honde and the gotes on the lyfte.
34 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me.
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.
I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sicke and ye visited me. I was in preson and ye came vnto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Then shall ye righteous answere him sayinge master whe sawe we ye anhongred and feed the? or a thurst and gave ye drinke?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
when sawe we ye herbourlesse and lodged the? or naked and clothed the?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
or when sawe we the sicke or in preson and came vnto the?
40 And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me.
41 Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meate. I thursted and ye gave me no drinke.
43 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.
I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me not. I was naked and ye clothed me not. I was sicke and in preson and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
Then shall they also answere him sayinge: master when sawe we the an hungred or a thurst or herbourlesse or naked or sicke or in preson and did not ministre vnto the?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Then shall he answere the and saye: Verely I saye vnto you in as moche as ye did it not to one of ye leest of these ye did it not to me.
