1Then[G5119] shall the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] be likened[G3666] unto ten[G1176]virgins[G3933], which[G3748]took[G2983]their[G846]lamps[G2985], and went forth[G1831] to meet[G529] the bridegroom[G3566].
3They[G3748] that were foolish[G3474]took[G2983]their[G846]lamps[G2985], and took[G2983]no[G3756]oil[G1637]with[G3326]them[G1438]:
4But[G1161] the wise[G5429]took[G2983]oil[G1637]in[G1722]their[G846]vessels[G30]with[G3326]their[G846]lamps[G2985].
5While[G1161] the bridegroom[G3566]tarried[G5549], they all[G3956]slumbered[G3573]and[G2532]slept[G2518].
6And[G1161] at midnight[G3319] there was a cry[G2906]made[G1096], Behold[G2400], the bridegroom[G3566]cometh[G2064]; go ye out[G1831]to[G1519]meet[G529]him[G846].
8And[G1161] the foolish[G3474]said[G2036] unto the wise[G5429], Give[G1325]us[G2254]of[G1537]your[G5216]oil[G1637]; for[G3754]our[G2257]lamps[G2985] are gone out[G4570].
9But[G1161] the wise[G5429]answered[G611], saying[G3004], Not[G3756] so; lest[G3379] there be[G714]not[G3756]enough[G714] for us[G2254]and[G2532]you[G5213]: but[G1161] go ye[G4198]rather[G3123] to them[G4314] that sell[G4453], and[G2532]buy[G59] for yourselves[G1438].
10And[G1161] while they[G846]went[G565]to[G1519]buy[G59], the bridegroom[G3566]came[G2064]; and[G2532]they[G846] that were ready[G2092]went[G565]in[G1525]with[G3326]him[G846]to[G1519] the marriage[G1062]: and[G2532] the door[G2374] was shut[G2808].
11Afterward[G1161]came[G2064]also[G2532] the other[G3062]virgins[G3933], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], Lord[G2962], open[G455] to us[G2254].
12But[G1161] he answered[G611] and said[G2036], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], I know[G1492]you[G5209]not[G3756].
13Watch[G1127]therefore[G3767], for[G3754] ye know[G1492]neither[G3756] the day[G2250]nor[G3761] the hour[G5610]wherein[G1722] the Son[G5207] of man[G444]cometh[G2064].
14For[G1063] the kingdom of heaven is as[G5618] a man[G444] travelling into a far country[G589], who called[G2564]his[G846]own[G2398]servants[G1401], and[G2532]delivered[G3860] unto them[G846]his[G846]goods[G5224].
15And[G2532] unto one[G3739] he gave[G1325]five[G4002]talents[G5007], to another[G3739]two[G1417], and[G1161] to another[G3739]one[G3303]; to every man[G1538]according[G2596] to his several[G2398]ability[G1411]; and[G1161]straightway[G2112] took his journey[G589].
16Then[G1161] he that had received[G2983] the five[G4002]talents[G5007]went[G4198]and[G2532]traded[G2038]with[G1722] the same[G846], and[G2532]made[G4160] them other[G243]five[G4002]talents[G5007].
17And[G2532]likewise[G5615]he[G846] that had received[G3588]two[G1417], he[G846]also[G2532]gained[G2770]other[G243]two[G1417].
18But[G1161] he that had received[G2983]one[G1520]went[G565]and[G2532]digged[G3736]in[G1722] the earth[G1093], and[G2532]hid[G613]his[G846] lord's money[G694].
19After[G1161] a long[G4183]time[G5550] the lord[G2962] of those[G1565]servants[G1401]cometh[G2064], and[G2532]reckoneth[G4868]with[G3326]them[G846].
20
And so[G2532] he that had received[G2983]five[G4002]talents[G5007]came[G4334] and brought[G4374]other[G243]five[G4002]talents[G5007], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], thou deliveredst[G3860] unto me[G3427]five[G4002]talents[G5007]: behold[G2396], I have gained[G2770]beside[G1909]them[G846]five[G4002]talents[G5007]more[G243].
21His[G846]lord[G2962]said[G5346] unto him[G846], Well done[G2095], thou[G1525]good[G18]and[G2532]faithful[G4103]servant[G1401]: thou[G1525] hast been[G2258]faithful[G4103]over[G1909] a few things[G3641], I will make[G2525]thee[G4571]ruler[G2525]over[G1909] many things[G4183]: enter thou[G1525]into[G1519] the joy[G5479] of thy[G4675]lord[G2962].
22
He also[G2532] that had received[G2983]two[G1417]talents[G5007]came[G4334] and said[G2036], Lord[G2962], thou deliveredst[G3860] unto me[G3427]two[G1417]talents[G5007]: behold[G2396], I have gained[G2770]two[G1417]other[G243]talents[G5007]beside[G1909]them[G846].
23His[G846]lord[G2962]said[G5346] unto him[G846], Well done[G2095], good[G18]and[G2532]faithful[G4103]servant[G1401]; thou[G1525] hast been[G2258]faithful[G4103]over[G1909] a few things[G3641], I will make[G2525]thee[G4571]ruler[G2525]over[G1909] many things[G4183]: enter thou[G1525]into[G1519] the joy[G5479] of thy[G4675]lord[G2962].
24Then[G1161] he which had received[G2983] the one[G1520]talent[G5007]came[G4334]and[G2532]said[G2036], Lord[G2962], I knew[G1097]thee[G4571]that[G3754] thou art[G1488] an hard[G4642]man[G444], reaping[G2325]where[G3699] thou hast[G4687]not[G3756]sown[G4687], and[G2532]gathering[G4863]where[G3606] thou hast[G1287]not[G3756]strawed[G1287]:
25And[G2532] I was afraid[G5399], and[G2532]went[G565]and[G2532]hid[G2928]thy[G4675]talent[G5007]in[G1722] the earth[G1093]: lo[G2396], there thou hast[G2192] that is thine[G4674].
26His[G846]lord[G2962]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Thou wicked[G4190]and[G2532]slothful[G3636]servant[G1401], thou knewest[G1492]that[G3754] I reap[G2325]where[G3699] I sowed[G4687]not[G3756], and[G2532]gather[G4863]where[G3606] I have[G1287]not[G3756]strawed[G1287]:
27Thou[G4571]oughtest[G1163]therefore[G3767] to have put[G906]my[G3450]money[G694] to the exchangers[G5133], and[G2532] then at my[G3450]coming[G2064]I[G1473]should[G302] have received[G2865] mine own[G1699]with[G4862]usury[G5110].
28Take[G142]therefore[G3767] the talent[G5007]from[G575]him[G846], and[G2532]give[G1325] it unto him[G846] which hath[G2192]ten[G1176]talents[G5007].
29For[G1063] unto every one[G3956] that hath[G2192] shall be given[G1325], and[G2532] he shall have abundance[G4052]: but[G1161]from[G575]him[G846] that hath[G2192]not[G3361] shall be taken away[G142]even[G2532] that which[G3739] he hath[G2192].
30And[G2532] cast ye[G1544] the unprofitable[G888]servant[G1401]into[G1519]outer[G1857]darkness[G4655]: there[G1563] shall be[G2071]weeping[G2805]and[G2532]gnashing[G1030] of teeth[G3599].
31When[G1161] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] shall come[G2064]in[G1722]his[G846]glory[G1391], and[G2532]all[G3956] the holy[G40]angels[G32]with[G3326]him[G846], then[G5119] shall he sit[G2523]upon[G1909] the throne[G2362] of his[G846]glory[G1391]:
32And[G2532]before[G1715]him[G846] shall be gathered[G4863]all[G3956]nations[G1484]: and[G2532] he shall separate[G873]them[G846]one[G240]from[G575]another[G240], as[G5618] a shepherd[G4166]divideth[G873] his sheep[G4263]from[G575] the goats[G2056]:
33And[G2532] he shall set[G2476] the sheep[G4263]on[G1537]his[G846] right hand[G1188], but[G1161] the goats[G2055]on[G1537] the left[G2176].
34Then[G5119] shall the King[G935]say[G2046] unto them on[G1537]his[G846] right hand[G1188], Come[G1205], ye blessed[G2127] of my[G3450]Father[G3962], inherit[G2816] the kingdom[G932]prepared[G2090] for you[G5213]from[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889]:
35For[G1063] I was[G2252] an hungred[G3983], and[G2532] ye gave[G1325]me[G3427]meat[G5315]: I was[G2252]thirsty[G1372], and[G2532] ye gave[G4222]me[G3165]drink[G4222]: I was[G2252] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] ye took[G4863]me[G3165]in[G4863]:
36Naked[G1131], and[G2532] ye clothed[G4016]me[G3165]: I was[G2252]sick[G770], and[G2532] ye visited[G1980]me[G3165]: I was[G2252]in[G1722]prison[G5438], and[G2532] ye came[G2064]unto[G4314]me[G3165].
37Then[G5119] shall the righteous[G1342]answer[G611]him[G846], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], when[G4219] saw we[G1492]thee[G4571] an hungred[G3983], and[G2532]fed[G5142]thee?[G4571]or[G2228]thirsty[G1372], and[G2532] gave thee[G4571]drink?[G4222]
38When[G4219] saw we[G1492]thee[G4571] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] took thee[G4571]in?[G4863]or[G2228]naked[G1131], and[G2532]clothed[G4016]thee?[G4571]
40And[G2532] the King[G935] shall answer[G611]and[G2532]say[G2046] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Inasmuch[G1909]as[G3745] ye have done[G4160] it unto one[G1520] of the least[G1646] of these[G5130]my[G3450]brethren[G80], ye have done[G4160] it unto me[G1698].
41Then[G5119] shall he say[G2046]also[G2532] unto them on[G1537] the left hand[G2176], Depart[G4198]from[G575]me[G1700], ye cursed[G2672], into[G1519]everlasting[G166]fire[G4442], prepared[G2090] for the devil[G1228]and[G2532]his[G846]angels[G32]:
42For[G1063] I was an hungred[G3983], and[G2532] ye gave[G1325]me[G3427]no[G3756]meat[G5315]: I was thirsty[G1372], and[G2532] ye gave[G4222]me[G3165]no[G3756]drink[G4222]:
43
I was[G2252] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] ye took[G4863]me[G3165]not[G3756]in[G4863]: naked[G1131], and[G2532] ye clothed[G4016]me[G3165]not[G3756]: sick[G772], and[G2532]in[G1722]prison[G5438], and[G2532] ye visited[G1980]me[G3165]not[G3756].
44Then[G5119] shall they[G846]also[G2532]answer[G611]him[G846], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], when[G4219] saw we[G1492]thee[G4571] an hungred[G3983], or[G2228]athirst[G1372], or[G2228] a stranger[G3581], or[G2228]naked[G1131], or[G2228]sick[G772], or[G2228]in[G1722]prison[G5438], and[G2532]did[G1247]not[G3756]minister[G1247] unto thee?[G4671]
45Then[G5119] shall he answer[G611]them[G846], saying[G3004], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Inasmuch[G1909]as[G3745] ye did[G4160] it not[G3756] to one[G1520] of the least[G1646] of these[G5130], ye did[G4160] it not[G3761] to me[G1698].
46And[G2532]these[G3778] shall go away[G565]into[G1519]everlasting[G166]punishment[G2851]: but[G1161] the righteous[G1342]into[G1519]life[G2222]eternal[G166].
