25"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.G5119G932G3772G3666G1176G3933G3748G2983G846G2985G1831G529G1519G3566 2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.G1161G4002G1537G846G2258G5429G2532G4002G3474 3When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them;G3748G3474G2983G846G1438G2985G2983G3756G1637G3326G1438 4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.G1161G5429G2983G1637G1722G846G30G3326G846G2985 5As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept.G1161G3566G5549G3956G3573G2532G2518 6But at midnight there was a shout, 'Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'G1161G3319G3571G2906G1096G2400G3566G2064G1831G1519G529G846 7Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps.G5119G3956G1565G3933G1453G2532G2885G846G2985 8The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'G1161G3474G2036G5429G1325G2254G1537G5216G1637G3754G2257G2985G4570 9But the wise replied, 'No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'G1161G5429G611G3004G3379G714G3756G714G2254G2532G5213G1161G4198G3123G4314G4453G2532G59G1438 10And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.G1161G846G565G59G3566G2064G2532G2092G1525G3326G846G1519G1062G2532G2374G2808 11Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.'G1161G5305G2064G2532G3062G3933G3004G2962G2962G455G2254 12But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'G1161G611G2036G281G3004G5213G1492G5209G3756 13Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.G1127G3767G3754G1492G3756G2250G3761G5610G1722G3739G5207G444G2064 14"For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them;G1063G5618G444G589G2564G2398G1401G2532G3860G846G846G5224 15to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.G2532G3739G3303G1325G4002G5007G1161G3739G1417G1161G3739G1520G1538G2596G2398G1411G2532G2112G589 16The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents.G1161G2983G4002G5007G4198G2038G1722G846G2532G4160G243G4002G5007 17In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents.G2532G5615G3588G1417G846G2532G2770G243G1417 18But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.G1161G2983G1520G565G3736G1722G1093G2532G613G846G2962G694 19After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.G1161G3326G4183G5550G2962G1565G1401G2064G2532G4868G3056G3326G846 20Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, 'Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.'G2532G2983G4002G5007G4334G4374G243G4002G5007G3004G2962G3860G3427G4002G5007G2396G2770G1909G846G4002G5007G243 21His master said to him, 'Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'G1161G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G2962 22And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, 'Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.'G1161G2532G2983G1417G5007G4334G2036G2962G3860G3427G1417G5007G2396G2770G1417G243G5007G1909G846 23His master said to him, 'Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G2962 24Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed;G1161G2532G2983G1520G5007G4334G2036G2962G1097G4571G3754G1488G4642G444G2325G3699G4687G3756G4687G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G1287 25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.'G2532G5399G565G2928G4675G5007G1722G1093G2396G2192G4674 26But his master replied, 'You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter?G1161G846G2962G611G2036G846G4190G2532G3636G1401G1492G3754G2325G3699G4687G3756G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G1287 27Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest.G4571G1163G3767G906G3450G694G5133G2532G2064G1473G302G2865G1699G4862G5110 28So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents.G142G3767G5007G575G846G2532G1325G2192G1176G5007 29For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.G1063G3956G2192G1325G2532G4052G1161G575G846G2192G3361G142G575G2532G3739G2192 30As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'G2532G1544G888G1401G1519G1857G4655G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G3599 31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.G1161G3752G5207G444G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3956G40G32G3326G846G5119G2523G1909G2362G846G1391 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,G2532G1715G846G4863G3956G1484G2532G873G846G240G575G240G5618G4166G873G4263G575G2056 33and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left.G2532G2476G3303G4263G1537G846G1188G1161G2055G1537G2176 34Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;G5119G935G2046G1537G846G1188G1205G2127G3450G3962G2816G932G2090G5213G575G2602G2889 35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G4222G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G4863 36I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.'G1131G2532G4016G3165G770G2532G1980G3165G2252G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G3165 37Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink?G5119G1342G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2532G5142G2228G1372G2532G4222 38And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing?G1161G4219G1492G4571G3581G2532G4863G2228G1131G2532G4016 39And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?'G1161G4219G1492G4571G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G4571 40And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'G2532G935G611G2046G846G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G1520G1646G5130G3450G80G4160G1698 41Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;G5119G2046G2532G1537G2176G4198G575G1700G2672G1519G166G4442G2090G1228G2532G846G32 42for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G3756G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G3756G4222 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G3756G4863G1131G2532G4016G3165G3756G772G2532G1722G5438G2532G1980G3165G3756 44Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?'G5119G846G2532G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2228G1372G2228G3581G2228G1131G2228G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G1247G3756G1247G4671 45Then he will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'G5119G611G846G3004G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G3756G1520G1646G5130G4160G3761G1698 46And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."G2532G3778G565G1519G166G2851G1161G1342G1519G2222G166
