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 will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish,
and five were foolish.
3 foolish women, who, having taken their lamps, took no olive oil with them.
The foolish ones 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 as well as in their lamps.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:
6 But at midnight a shout occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go ye forth for his gathering.
and in the middle of the night there was a cry, The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins were roused, and put their lamps in order.
Then all the virgins rose up 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 ones said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going 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 them, saying, Least there should not be enough for us and you, go rather to them that sell it, 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 wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.
11 But afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Afterwards 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 them, Verily I declare unto you, I do not know you.
13 Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day, nor the season in which 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 as a man, who was going to travel abroad, called his servants, and delivered to them his stock: and to one he gave five talents,
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.
to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability: and then he took his journey.
16 And having departed, the man who received the five talents worked with them, and made five other talents.
Now he that had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained other five talents:
17 And likewise also the man of the two gained two others.
and likewise he that had the two, he also gained two more:
18 But having departed, the man who received the one dug in the ground, and hid his lord's silver.
but he who had received the one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his master's money:
19 Now after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes, and takes up accounting with them.
and after some time the lord of those servants cometh and settleth his account 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 he who had received the five talents came and brought to him five talents more, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents, behold I have gained other five talents to them:
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.
and his lord said to him, Well done, my good and trusty servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into thy master's joy.
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.
And he also who had received the two talents came to him and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents with 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 to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter 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.
And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;
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 ground; behold, there is thine own:
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.
but his lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed;
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 then to have put my money to the bankers, and when I came I should have received my own with interest.
28 Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath the 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 to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken away: )
30 And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where 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.
So when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon his glorious throne:
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 all nations shall be assembled before Him; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides the 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 his 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 will 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:
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 famishing, and ye gave me food; 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.
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye took care of me; I was in prison, and ye visited 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 will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, 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?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?
39 And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee?
or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited 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 replying will say unto them, Verily I declare unto you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the lest of these my brethren, ye did it to 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 will He say also to those 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 famishing, and ye gave me nothing to eat; I was a-thirst, 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 took no care of me.
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 will they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve 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 will He reply to them, saying, Verily I tell you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the lest of these, ye did it not to me.
