 |
25:1 Then shall the kingdom
of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which took their
lamps, and went forth to meet
the bridegroom.
|
|
| |
 |
|
| |
25:2 And five of them were
wise, and five were foolish.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:3 They that were foolish
took their lamps, and took no
oil with them:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:4 But the wise took oil in
their vessels with their
lamps.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:5 While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:6 And at midnight there
was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out
to meet him.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:7 Then all those virgins
arose, and trimmed their
lamps.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:8 And the foolish said unto
the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:9 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:10 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:11 Afterward came also the
other virgins, saying, Lord,
Lord, open to us.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:12 But he answered and
said, Verily I say unto you, I
know you not.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:13 Watch therefore, for ye
know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man
cometh.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:14 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:15 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:16 Then he that had
received the five talents went
and traded with the same, and
made them other five talents.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:17 And likewise he
that had received two, he also
gained other two.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:18 But he that had
received one went and digged
in the earth, and hid his lord’s
money.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:19 After a long time the
lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth with them.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:20 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:21 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:22 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:23 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:24 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:25 And I was afraid, and
went and hid thy talent in the
earth: lo, there thou hast that
is thine.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:26 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:27 Thou oughtest therefore
to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my
coming I should have received
mine own with usury.
heavens shall be shaken:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:28 Take therefore the
talent from him, and
give it unto him which hath ten
talents.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:29 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:30 And cast ye the
unprofitable servant
into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping
and gnashing of
teeth.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:31 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:32 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:33 And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:34 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:35 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:36 Naked, and ye clothed
me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in prison, and ye
came unto me.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:37 Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an
hungred, and fed thee? or
thirsty, and gave thee drink?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:38 When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:39 Or when saw we thee
sick, or in prison, and came
unto thee?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:40 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:41 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:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:42 For I was an hungred,
and ye gave me no meat: I
was thirsty, and ye gave me
no drink:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:43 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:44 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?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:45 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.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
25:46 And these shall go
away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal.
