25"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.G5119G932G3772G3666G1176G3933G3748G2983G846G2985G1831G529G1519G3566 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise.G1161G4002G1537G846G2258G5429G2532G4002G3474 3The fool ish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.G3748G3474G2983G846G1438G2985G2983G3756G1637G3326G1438 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.G1161G5429G2983G1637G1722G846G30G3326G846G2985 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.G1161G3566G5549G3956G3573G2532G2518 6"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'G1161G3319G3571G2906G1096G2400G3566G2064G1831G1519G529G846 7"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.G5119G3956G1565G3933G1453G2532G2885G846G2985 8The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'G1161G3474G2036G5429G1325G2254G1537G5216G1637G3754G2257G2985G4570 9" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'G1161G5429G611G3004G3379G714G3756G714G2254G2532G5213G1161G4198G3123G4314G4453G2532G59G1438 10"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.G1161G846G565G59G3566G2064G2532G2092G1525G3326G846G1519G1062G2532G2374G2808 11"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'G1161G5305G2064G2532G3062G3933G3004G2962G2962G455G2254 12"But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'G1161G611G2036G281G3004G5213G1492G5209G3756 13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.G1127G3767G3754G1492G3756G2250G3761G5610G1722G3739G5207G444G2064 14"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.G1063G5618G444G589G2564G2398G1401G2532G3860G846G846G5224 15To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.G2532G3739G3303G1325G4002G5007G1161G3739G1417G1161G3739G1520G1538G2596G2398G1411G2532G2112G589 16The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.G1161G2983G4002G5007G4198G2038G1722G846G2532G4160G243G4002G5007 17So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.G2532G5615G3588G1417G846G2532G2770G243G1417 18But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.G1161G2983G1520G565G3736G1722G1093G2532G613G846G2962G694 19"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.G1161G3326G4183G5550G2962G1565G1401G2064G2532G4868G3056G3326G846 20The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.'G2532G2983G4002G5007G4334G4374G243G4002G5007G3004G2962G3860G3427G4002G5007G2396G2770G1909G846G4002G5007G243 21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'G1161G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G2962 22"The man with two bags of gold also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.'G1161G2532G2983G1417G5007G4334G2036G2962G3860G3427G1417G5007G2396G2770G1417G243G5007G1909G846 23"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G2962 24"Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.G1161G2532G2983G1520G5007G4334G2036G2962G1097G4571G3754G1488G4642G444G2325G3699G4687G3756G4687G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G1287 25So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'G2532G5399G565G2928G4675G5007G1722G1093G2396G2192G4674 26"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?G1161G846G2962G611G2036G846G4190G2532G3636G1401G1492G3754G2325G3699G4687G3756G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G1287 27Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.G4571G1163G3767G906G3450G694G5133G2532G2064G1473G302G2865G1699G4862G5110 28" 'Take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.G142G3767G5007G575G846G2532G1325G2192G1176G5007 29For those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them.G1063G3956G2192G1325G2532G4052G1161G575G846G2192G3361G142G575G2532G3739G2192 30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the 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, he will sit on his glorious throne.G1161G3752G5207G444G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3956G40G32G3326G846G5119G2523G1909G2362G846G1391 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.G2532G1715G846G4863G3956G1484G2532G873G846G240G575G240G5618G4166G873G4263G575G2056 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.G2532G2476G3303G4263G1537G846G1188G1161G2055G1537G2176 34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.G5119G935G2046G1537G846G1188G1205G2127G3450G3962G2816G932G2090G5213G575G2602G2889 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G4222G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G4863 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'G1131G2532G4016G3165G770G2532G1980G3165G2252G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G3165 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?G5119G1342G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2532G5142G2228G1372G2532G4222 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?G1161G4219G1492G4571G3581G2532G4863G2228G1131G2532G4016 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'G1161G4219G1492G4571G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G4571 40"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'G2532G935G611G2046G846G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G1520G1646G5130G3450G80G4160G1698 41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.G5119G2046G2532G1537G2176G4198G575G1700G2672G1519G166G4442G2090G1228G2532G846G32 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G3756G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G3756G4222 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G3756G4863G1131G2532G4016G3165G3756G772G2532G1722G5438G2532G1980G3165G3756 44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'G5119G846G2532G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2228G1372G2228G3581G2228G1131G2228G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G1247G3756G1247G4671 45"He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'G5119G611G846G3004G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G3756G1520G1646G5130G4160G3761G1698 46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."G2532G3778G565G1519G166G2851G1161G1342G1519G2222G166
