Matthew 25
1 Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
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 wise, and five were foolish.
And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth 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, behold, our lamps have gone out.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
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.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
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.
11 And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
Afterward come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
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.
16 Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
17 And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
18 But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
20 And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
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.
21 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter 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 set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
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.
23 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter 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 set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
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:
25 and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26 His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
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;
27 Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
29 For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
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.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
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:
32 And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.
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:
33 And he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was 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 ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me home;
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 I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then will the righteous say to him: Our Lord, when saw we thee 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 athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee home? or naked, and clothed thee?
And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the king will answer, and say to them: Verily I Say to you, That inasmuch as ye did so to one of these my little brothers, ye did so to me.
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.
41 Then will he say also to them on his left hand: Go from me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the Calumniator and his angels, (aiōnios g166)
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)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food; and I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 and I was a stranger, and ye took me not home; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
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 answer and say: Our 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 answer, 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 answer, and say to them: Verily I say to you, That in as much as ye did not so to one of these little ones, ye did not so to me.
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.
