`
Then shall the reign
of the
heavens
be likened to
ten virgins, who,
having
taken
their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom ;
Then shall the kingdom
of heaven
be likened unto
ten virgins, which
took
their lamps, and
went forth to meet the bridegroom .
and five of them were prudent
, and five foolish ;
And five of them were wise
, and five were
foolish .
they who
were foolish having
taken
their lamps, did
not
take
with
themselves
oil ;
They that
were foolish took
their lamps, and
took
no
oil with
them:
and
the prudent
took oil in their vessels ,
with their lamps.
But
the wise
took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
`And
the bridegroom tarrying
, they all nodded
and were
sleeping,
While
the bridegroom tarried
, they all slumbered
and slept.
and in
the
middle
of
the
night
a cry was
made, Lo
, the bridegroom doth
come
; go ye forth
to meet him.
And at
midnight
there
was
a cry made, Behold
, the bridegroom cometh
; go ye out
to meet him.
`
Then rose
all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps ,
Then all those virgins arose
, and trimmed their lamps .
and the foolish said to
the prudent
, Give us of your oil ,
because
our lamps are going
out ;
And the foolish said unto
the wise
, Give us of your oil ;
for
our lamps are gone
out .
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.
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 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 ;
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
afterwards
come
also do
the rest
of
the
virgins, saying, Sir
, sir
, open to us ;
Afterward
came
also the other
virgins, saying, Lord
, Lord
, open to us .
and
he answering
said, Verily I say to
you, I have
not
known
you.
But
he answered
and
said, Verily I say unto
you, I know
you not
.
`
Watch therefore, for ye have
not
known
the day nor the hour in
which
the Son of Man doth
come
.
Watch therefore, for ye know
neither
the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of man cometh
.
`
For --
as a man going
abroad
did
call
his own servants, and did
deliver
to
them his substance,
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.
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
.
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
he who
did
receive
the five talents ,
having
gone,
wrought
with them
, and made other five talents ;
Then
he that
had
received
the five talents went
and
traded
with the
same
, and made them
other five talents .
in
like
manner
also
he who
`
received '
the
two, he gained,
also he,
other two ;
And
likewise
he that
had
received two, he also gained
other two .
and
he who
did
receive
the
one ,
having
gone
away,
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
But
he that
had
received
one went
and
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
`And
after a long time cometh
the lord of those servants, and taketh
reckoning
with them ;
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh
, and reckoneth
with them .
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
`
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.
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.
`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;
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 having
been
afraid, having
gone
away,
I
hid thy talent in the earth ;
lo, thou hast thine own!
And I
was
afraid, and
went
and
hid thy talent in the earth :
lo, there
thou hast that
is
thine .
`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!
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:
it
behoved
thee
then
to put my money to the money-lenders
, and having
come
I had
received mine own with increase
.
Thou
oughtest
therefore
to have
put my money to the exchangers
, and then
at
my
coming
I should
have
received mine own with usury
.
`
Take therefore from
him
the talent, and give to
him having
the
ten talents ,
Take therefore the talent from
him
, and give it
unto
him which
hath
ten talents .
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;
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 .
and the
unprofitable
servant
cast ye forth
to
the outer darkness ;
there shall be the
weeping and the
gnashing of the
teeth.
And cast ye the unprofitable
servant
into
outer darkness :
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
`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 ;
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 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 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 he shall set the sheep indeed
on his right hand, and
the goats on the left.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left.
`
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 ;
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 :
for I did
hunger
, and ye gave me to
eat;
I did
thirst
, and ye gave me to
drink ;
I was a stranger, and ye received
me ;
For I was
an
hungred
, and ye gave me meat:
I was
thirsty
, and ye gave me drink :
I was a stranger, and ye took
me in:
naked, and ye put
around
me ;
I was infirm
, and ye looked
after
me ;
in
prison
I was, and ye came unto me.
Naked, and ye clothed
me :
I was sick
, and ye visited
me :
I was in
prison
, and ye came unto me.
`
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did
we see
thee hungering
, and we
nourished
? or thirsting
, and we
gave to
drink?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an
hungred
, and fed
thee
? or thirsty

drink?

we see
thee a stranger, and we
received
? or naked, and we
put
around
?
When saw
we thee a stranger, and took
thee
in
? or naked, and clothed
thee
?
and
when did
we see
thee infirm
, or in prison, and we
came unto thee?
Or
when saw
we thee sick
, or in prison, and came unto thee?
`
And the king answering,
shall say to
them, Verily I say to
you, Inasmuch as ye did
`
it '
to
one of these my brethren --
the
least
--
to
me
ye did
`
it '
.
And the King shall answer
and
say unto
them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have
done
it unto
one of the
least
of
these my brethren ,
ye have
done
it unto
me
.
Then shall he say also to
those
on the left hand, Go
ye
from me, the
cursed, to
the
fire, the
age-during,
that
hath
been
prepared for the Devil and his messengers;
Then shall he say also unto
them
on the left hand, Depart
from me, ye
cursed, into
everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
for I did
hunger
, and ye gave me not
to
eat;
I did
thirst
, and ye gave me not
to
drink ;
For I was
an
hungred
, and ye gave me no
meat:
I was
thirsty
, and ye gave me no
drink :
a
stranger
I was, and ye did
not
receive
me ;
naked, and ye put
not
around
me ;
infirm
, and in prison, and ye did
not
look
after
me.
I was a
stranger
, and ye took
me not
in:
naked, and ye clothed
me not:
sick
, and in prison, and ye visited
me not
.
`
Then shall they answer,
they
also, saying, Lord, when did
we see
thee hungering
, or thirsting
, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm
, or in prison, and we
did not minister to
thee?
Then shall they also answer
him
, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an
hungred
, or athirst
, or a stranger, or naked, or sick
, or in prison, and did not minister unto
thee?
`
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to
you, Inasmuch as ye did `
it '
not to one of these,
the least, ye did `
it '
not to me.
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of
these
, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away to
punishment age-during,
but the righteous to
life age-during
. '
And these shall go away into
everlasting
punishment :
but the righteous into
life eternal
.
