Then shall the kingdom
of heaven
be likened unto
ten virgins, which
took
their lamps, and
went forth to meet the bridegroom .
`
Then shall the reign
of the
heavens
be likened to
ten virgins, who,
having
taken
their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom ;
And five of them were wise
, and five were
foolish .
and five of them were prudent
, and five foolish ;
They that
were foolish took
their lamps, and
took
no
oil
with them:
they who
were foolish having
taken
their lamps, did
not
take
with themselves
oil;
But
the wise
took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
and
the prudent
took oil in their vessels ,
with their lamps.
While
the bridegroom tarried
, they all slumbered
and slept.
`And
the bridegroom tarrying
, they all nodded
and were
sleeping,
And at
midnight
there
was
a cry made, Behold
, the bridegroom cometh
; go ye out
to meet him.
and in
the
middle
of
the
night
a cry was
made, Lo
, the bridegroom doth
come
; go ye forth
to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose
, and trimmed their lamps .
`
Then rose
all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps ,
And the foolish said unto
the wise
, Give us of your oil ;
for
our lamps are gone
out .
and the foolish said to
the prudent
, Give us of your oil ,
because
our lamps are going
out ;
But
the wise
answered, saying ,
Not
so;
lest there be
not enough
for us and you :
but
go ye rather to
them
that
sell
, and buy for yourselves.
and
the prudent
answered, saying --
Lest there may
not be
sufficient
for us and you ,
go ye rather unto
those
selling
, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went
to buy, the bridegroom came ;
and they
that
were
ready went in with him to the marriage :
and the door was shut .
`
And while they are
going
away
to buy, the bridegroom came ,
and those
ready went in with him to the marriage -feasts,
and the door was shut ;
Afterward
came
also the other
virgins, saying, Lord
, Lord
, open to us .
and
afterwards
come
also do
the rest
of
the
virgins, saying, Sir
, sir
, open to us ;

he
answered
and said, Verily I say unto
you, I know
you
not.

answering
said, Verily I say to
you, I have
not known
you
.
Watch therefore, for ye know
neither
the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of man cometh
.
`
Watch therefore, for ye have
not
known
the day nor the hour in
which
the Son of Man doth
come

For the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
as a man travelling
into
a
far
country,
who
called
his own servants, and delivered
unto
them his goods.
`
For --
as a man going
abroad
did
call
his own servants, and did
deliver
to
them his substance,
And unto
one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one ;
to every
man
according to his several ability ;
and
straightway
took
his
journey
.
and to
one he gave five talents, and
to another two, and to another one ,
to each
according to his several ability ,
went
abroad
immediately
.
Then
he that
had
received
the five talents went
and
traded
with the
same
, and made them
other five talents .
`And
he who
did
receive
the five talents ,
having
gone,
wrought
with them
, and made other five talents ;
And
likewise
he that
had
received two, he also
gained other two .
in
like
manner
also
he who
`
received '
the
two, he gained ,
also
he,
other two ;
But
he that
had
received
one went
and
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
and
he who
did
receive
the
one ,
having
gone
away,
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh
, and reckoneth
with them .
`And
after a long time cometh
the lord of those servants, and taketh
reckoning
with them ;
And so
he that
had
received
five talents came
and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord
, thou deliveredst
unto
me five talents :
behold,
I have
gained
beside
them five
talents
more
.
and he who
did
receive
the
five talents having
come,
brought other five talents, saying, `Sir
, five
talents
thou didst
deliver
to
me ;
lo,
other
five talents did
I gain
besides
them.
His lord said unto
him, Well done, thou
good and faithful servant:
thou
hast
been
faithful
over a few things, I
will
make
thee
ruler
over many things :
enter thou
into the joy of thy lord.
`And
his lord said to
him, Well done, servant,
good and faithful ,
over a few things thou
wast
faithful
, over many things I
will
set
thee;
enter into the joy of thy lord.
He also that
had
received
two talents came
and
said, Lord
, thou
deliveredst
unto
me
two talents :
behold
, I
have
gained
two
other talents beside
them.
`And
he who
also did
receive
the
two talents having
come,
said, Sir
, two talents thou
didst
deliver
to
me;
lo
, other two
talents I
did
gain
besides
them.
His lord said unto
him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou
hast
been
faithful
over a few things, I
will
make
thee
ruler
over many things :
enter thou
into the joy of thy lord.
`
His lord said to
him, Well done, servant,
good and faithful ,
over a few things thou
wast
faithful
, over many things I
will
set
thee;
enter into the joy of thy lord.
Then
he which
had
received the one talent came
and
said, Lord
, I knew thee that thou art an
hard man, reaping where thou hast
not sown
, and gathering where
thou hast
not strawed:
`And
he also
who
hath
received the one talent having
come,
said, Sir
, I knew thee ,
that thou art a
hard man, reaping where thou didst
not sow
, and gathering from
whence
thou didst
not scatter;
And I
was
afraid, and
went
and
hid thy talent in the earth :
lo, there
thou hast that
is
thine .
and having
been
afraid, having
gone
away,
I
hid thy talent in the earth ;
lo, thou hast thine own!
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 have
not strawed:
`And
his lord answering
said to
him, Evil
servant,
and slothful, thou hadst
known
that I reap where I did
not sow
, and I
gather whence
I did
not scatter!
Thou
oughtest
therefore
to have
put my money to the exchangers
, and then
at
my
coming
I should
have
received mine own with usury
.
it
behoved
thee
then
to put my money to the money-lenders
, and having
come
I had
received mine own with increase
.
Take therefore the
talent
from him, and give it
unto
him which
hath
ten talents .
`
Take therefore from him the
talent
, and give to
him having
the
ten talents ,
For unto
every one that
hath
shall be given, and he shall have abundance:
but
from him that
hath
not shall
be
taken
away
even that which he hath .
for to
every one having
shall be given, and he shall have overabundance,
and
from him who
is
not having,
even that which he hath shall
be
taken
from
him;
And cast
ye
the unprofitable servant into
outer darkness :
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and the unprofitable servant cast
ye
forth
to
the
outer darkness ;
there shall be the
weeping and the
gnashing of the
teeth.
When
the Son of man shall
come in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall
he sit upon the
throne of his glory :
`And
whenever
the Son of Man may
come in his glory, and all the holy messengers
with him, then he shall
sit upon a
throne of his glory ;
And before him shall be gathered
all nations :
and he shall separate them one
from another, as a
shepherd divideth
his
sheep from the goats :
and gathered
together
before him shall be all the
nations ,
and he shall separate them from one
another, as the
shepherd doth
separate
the
sheep from the goats ,
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left.
and he shall set the sheep indeed
on his right hand, and
the goats on the left.
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 :
`
Then shall the king say to
those
on his right hand, Come ye ,
the
blessed of my Father, inherit the reign
that
hath
been
prepared for you from the foundation of the world ;

thee
? or thirsty

drink?

and

you, Inasmuch as ye have
done
it unto
one of the
least
of
these my brethren ,
ye have
done
it unto
me
.
