Matthew 25
25"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.G5119G932G3772G3666G1176G3933G3748G2983G846G2985G1831G529G1519G35662Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.G1161G4002G1537G846G2258G5429G2532G4002G34743For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,G3748G3474G2983G846G1438G2985G2983G3756G1637G3326G14384but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.G1161G5429G2983G1637G1722G846G30G3326G846G29855As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.G1161G3566G5549G3956G3573G2532G25186But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'G1161G3319G3571G2906G1096G2400G3566G2064G1831G1519G529G8467Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.G5119G3956G1565G3933G1453G2532G2885G846G29858And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'G1161G3474G2036G5429G1325G2254G1537G5216G1637G3754G2257G2985G45709But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.'G1161G5429G611G3004G3379G714G3756G714G2254G2532G5213G1161G4198G3123G4314G4453G2532G59G143810And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.G1161G846G565G59G3566G2064G2532G2092G1525G3326G846G1519G1062G2532G2374G280811Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.'G1161G5305G2064G2532G3062G3933G3004G2962G2962G455G225412But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.'G1161G611G2036G281G3004G5213G1492G5209G375613Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.G1127G3767G3754G1492G3756G2250G3761G5610G1722G3739G5207G444G206414"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.G1063G5618G444G589G2564G2398G1401G2532G3860G846G846G522415To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.G2532G3739G3303G1325G4002G5007G1161G3739G1417G1161G3739G1520G1538G2596G2398G1411G2532G2112G58916He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.G1161G2983G4002G5007G4198G2038G1722G846G2532G4160G243G4002G500717So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.G2532G5615G3588G1417G846G2532G2770G243G141718But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.G1161G2983G1520G565G3736G1722G1093G2532G613G846G2962G69419Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.G1161G3326G4183G5550G2962G1565G1401G2064G2532G4868G3056G3326G84620And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.'G2532G2983G4002G5007G4334G4374G243G4002G5007G3004G2962G3860G3427G4002G5007G2396G2770G1909G846G4002G5007G24321His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'G1161G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G296222And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.'G1161G2532G2983G1417G5007G4334G2036G2962G3860G3427G1417G5007G2396G2770G1417G243G5007G1909G84623His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'G846G2962G5346G846G2095G18G2532G4103G1401G2258G4103G1909G3641G2525G4571G2525G1909G4183G1525G1519G5479G4675G296224He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,G1161G2532G2983G1520G5007G4334G2036G2962G1097G4571G3754G1488G4642G444G2325G3699G4687G3756G4687G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G128725so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.'G2532G5399G565G2928G4675G5007G1722G1093G2396G2192G467426But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?G1161G846G2962G611G2036G846G4190G2532G3636G1401G1492G3754G2325G3699G4687G3756G2532G4863G3606G1287G3756G128727Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.G4571G1163G3767G906G3450G694G5133G2532G2064G1473G302G2865G1699G4862G511028So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.G142G3767G5007G575G846G2532G1325G2192G1176G500729For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.G1063G3956G2192G1325G2532G4052G1161G575G846G2192G3361G142G575G2532G3739G219230And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'G2532G1544G888G1401G1519G1857G4655G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G359931"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.G1161G3752G5207G444G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3956G40G32G3326G846G5119G2523G1909G2362G846G139132Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.G2532G1715G846G4863G3956G1484G2532G873G846G240G575G240G5618G4166G873G4263G575G205633And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.G2532G2476G3303G4263G1537G846G1188G1161G2055G1537G217634Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.G5119G935G2046G1537G846G1188G1205G2127G3450G3962G2816G932G2090G5213G575G2602G288935For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G4222G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G486336I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'G1131G2532G4016G3165G770G2532G1980G3165G2252G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G316537Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?G5119G1342G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2532G5142G2228G1372G2532G422238And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?G1161G4219G1492G4571G3581G2532G4863G2228G1131G2532G401639And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'G1161G4219G1492G4571G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G2064G4314G457140And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'G2532G935G611G2046G846G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G1520G1646G5130G3450G80G4160G169841"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.G5119G2046G2532G1537G2176G4198G575G1700G2672G1519G166G4442G2090G1228G2532G846G3242For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,G1063G3983G2532G1325G3427G3756G5315G1372G2532G4222G3165G3756G422243I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'G2252G3581G2532G4863G3165G3756G4863G1131G2532G4016G3165G3756G772G2532G1722G5438G2532G1980G3165G375644Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?'G5119G846G2532G611G846G3004G2962G4219G1492G4571G3983G2228G1372G2228G3581G2228G1131G2228G772G2228G1722G5438G2532G1247G3756G1247G467145Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'G5119G611G846G3004G281G3004G5213G1909G3745G4160G3756G1520G1646G5130G4160G3761G169846And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."G2532G3778G565G1519G166G2851G1161G1342G1519G2222G166
