Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
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 foolish, and five were wise.
and five were foolish.
3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
The foolish ones took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 but the wise took 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 tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:
6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
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 arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Then all the virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps:
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for 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, 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 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 away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: 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 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us:
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
but he answered them, Verily I declare unto you, I do not know you.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day, nor the season 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 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 unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.
to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability: and then he took his journey.
16 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
Now he that had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained other five talents:
17 In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
and likewise he that had the two, he also gained two more:
18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
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 servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
and after some time the lord of those servants cometh and settleth his account with them.
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 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 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.
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 he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
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 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, 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 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;
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 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 ground; behold, there is thine own:
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;
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 oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine 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 away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath the ten talents;
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
(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 out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall 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 shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he 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 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;
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 shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
and He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 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:
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 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 sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto 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 shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, 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 saw we 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 saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto 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 shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: (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 took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye 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 took no care of me.
44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto 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 shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto 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.
