1Then <5119> shall the kingdom <932> of heaven <3772> be likened <3666> (5701) unto ten <1176> virgins <3933>_, which <3748> took <2983> (5631) their <846> lamps <2985>_, and went forth <1831> (5627) to meet <529> <1519> the bridegroom <3566>_.
2And <1161> five <4002> of <1537> them <846> were <2258> (5713) wise <5429>_, and <2532> five <4002> [were] foolish <3474>_.
3They <3748> that [were] foolish <3474> took <2983> (5631) their <846> <1438> lamps <2985>_, and took <2983> (5627) no <3756> oil <1637> with <3326> them <1438>_:
4But <1161> the wise <5429> took <2983> (5627) oil <1637> in <1722> their <846> vessels <30> with <3326> their <846> lamps <2985>_.
5While <1161> the bridegroom <3566> tarried <5549> (5723)_, they all <3956> slumbered <3573> (5656) and <2532> slept <2518> (5707)_.
6And <1161> at midnight <3319> <3571> there was a cry <2906> made <1096> (5754)_, Behold <2400> (5628)_, the bridegroom <3566> cometh <2064> (5736)_; go ye out <1831> (5737) to <1519> meet <529> him <846>_.
7Then <5119> all <3956> those <1565> virgins <3933> arose <1453> (5681)_, and <2532> trimmed <2885> (5656) their <846> lamps <2985>_.
8And <1161> the foolish <3474> said <2036> (5627) unto the wise <5429>_, Give <1325> (5628) us <2254> of <1537> your <5216> oil <1637>_; for <3754> our <2257> lamps <2985> are gone out <4570> (5743)_. {gone out: or, going out}
9But <1161> the wise <5429> answered <611> (5662)_, saying <3004> (5723)_, [Not so]; lest <3379> there be <714> (0) not <3756> enough <714> (5661) for us <2254> and <2532> you <5213>_: but <1161> go ye <4198> (5737) rather <3123> to them <4314> that sell <4453> (5723)_, and <2532> buy <59> (5657) for yourselves <1438>_.
10And <1161> while they <846> went <565> (5740) to buy <59> (5658)_, the bridegroom <3566> came <2064> (5627)_; and <2532> they that were ready <2092> went in <1525> (5627) with <3326> him <846> to <1519> the marriage <1062>_: and <2532> the door <2374> was shut <2808> (5681)_.
11Afterward <1161> <5305> came <2064> (5736) also <2532> the other <3062> virgins <3933>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Lord <2962>_, Lord <2962>_, open <455> (5657) to us <2254>_.
12But <1161> he answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627)_, Verily <281> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>_, I know <1492> (5758) you <5209> not <3756>_.
13Watch <1127> (5720) therefore <3767>_, for <3754> ye know <1492> (5758) neither <3756> the day <2250> nor <3761> the hour <5610> wherein <1722> <3739> the Son <5207> of man <444> cometh <2064> (5736)_.
14For <1063> [the kingdom of heaven is] as <5618> a man <444> travelling into a far country <589> (5723)_, [who] called <2564> (5656) his own <2398> servants <1401>_, and <2532> delivered <3860> (5656) unto them <846> his <846> goods <5224> (5723)_.
15And <2532> unto one <3739> <3303> he gave <1325> (5656) five <4002> talents <5007>_, <1161> to another <3739> two <1417>_, and <1161> to another <3739> one <1520>_; to every man <1538> according <2596> to his several <2398> ability <1411>_; and <2532> straightway <2112> took his journey <589> (5656)_. {talents: a talent is one hundred and eighty seven pounds ten shillings}
16Then <1161> he that had received <2983> (5631) the five <4002> talents <5007> went <4198> (5679) and traded <2038> (5662) with <1722> the same <846>_, and <2532> made <4160> (5656) [them] other <243> five <4002> talents <5007>_.
17And <2532> likewise <5615> he that [had received] <3588> two <1417>_, he <846> also <2532> gained <2770> (5656) other <243> two <1417>_.
18But <1161> he that had received <2983> (5631) one <1520> went <565> (5631) and digged <3736> (5656) in <1722> the earth <1093>_, and <2532> hid <613> (5656) his <846> lord's <2962> money <694>_.
19After <1161> <3326> a long <4183> time <5550> the lord <2962> of those <1565> servants <1401> cometh <2064> (5736)_, and <2532> reckoneth <4868> (5719) <3056> with <3326> them <846>_.
20And so <2532> he that had received <2983> (5631) five <4002> talents <5007> came <4334> (5631) and brought <4374> (5656) other <243> five <4002> talents <5007>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Lord <2962>_, thou deliveredst <3860> (5656) unto me <3427> five <4002> talents <5007>_: behold <2396>_, I have gained <2770> (5656) beside <1909> them <846> five <4002> talents <5007> more <243>_.
21<1161> His <846> lord <2962> said <5346> (5713) unto him <846>_, Well done <2095>_, [thou] good <18> and <2532> faithful <4103> servant <1401>_: thou hast been <2258> (5713) faithful <4103> over <1909> a few things <3641>_, I will make <2525> (0) thee <4571> ruler <2525> (5692) over <1909> many things <4183>_: enter thou <1525> (5628) into <1519> the joy <5479> of thy <4675> lord <2962>_.
22<1161> He also <2532> that had received <2983> (5631) two <1417> talents <5007> came <4334> (5631) and said <2036> (5627)_, Lord <2962>_, thou deliveredst <3860> (5656) unto me <3427> two <1417> talents <5007>_: behold <2396>_, I have gained <2770> (5656) two <1417> other <243> talents <5007> beside <1909> them <846>_.
23His <846> lord <2962> said <5346> (5713) unto him <846>_, Well done <2095>_, good <18> and <2532> faithful <4103> servant <1401>_; thou hast been <2258> (5713) faithful <4103> over <1909> a few things <3641>_, I will make <2525> (0) thee <4571> ruler <2525> (5692) over <1909> many things <4183>_: enter thou <1525> (5628) into <1519> the joy <5479> of thy <4675> lord <2962>_.
24Then <1161> <2532> he which had received <2983> (5761) the one <1520> talent <5007> came <4334> (5631) and said <2036> (5627)_, Lord <2962>_, I knew <1097> (5627) thee <4571> that <3754> thou art <1488> (5748) an hard <4642> man <444>_, reaping <2325> (5723) where <3699> thou hast <4687> (0) not <3756> sown <4687> (5656)_, and <2532> gathering <4863> (5723) where <3606> thou hast <1287> (0) not <3756> strawed <1287> (5656)_:
25And <2532> I was afraid <5399> (5679)_, and went <565> (5631) and hid <2928> (5656) thy <4675> talent <5007> in <1722> the earth <1093>_: lo <2396>_, [there] thou hast <2192> (5719) [that is] thine <4674>_.
26<1161> His <846> lord <2962> answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>_, [Thou] wicked <4190> and <2532> slothful <3636> servant <1401>_, thou knewest <1492> (5715) that <3754> I reap <2325> (5719) where <3699> I sowed <4687> (5656) not <3756>_, and <2532> gather <4863> (5719) where <3606> I have <1287> (0) not <3756> strawed <1287> (5656)_:
27Thou <4571> oughtest <1163> (5713) therefore <3767> to have put <906> (5629) my <3450> money <694> to the exchangers <5133>_, and <2532> [then] at my coming <2064> (5631) I <1473> should <302> have received <2865> (5668) mine own <1699> with <4862> usury <5110>_.
28Take <142> (5657) therefore <3767> the talent <5007> from <575> him <846>_, and <2532> give <1325> (5628) [it] unto him which hath <2192> (5723) ten <1176> talents <5007>_.
29For <1063> unto every one <3956> that hath <2192> (5723) shall be given <1325> (5701)_, and <2532> he shall have abundance <4052> (5701)_: but <1161> from <575> him <846> that hath <2192> (5723) not <3361> shall be taken away <142> (5701) <575> even <2532> that which <3739> he hath <2192> (5719)_.
30And <2532> cast ye <1544> (5720) the unprofitable <888> servant <1401> into <1519> outer <1857> darkness <4655>_: there <1563> shall be <2071> (5704) weeping <2805> and <2532> gnashing <1030> of teeth <3599>_.
31When <1161> <3752> the Son <5207> of man <444> shall come <2064> (5632) in <1722> his <846> glory <1391>_, and <2532> all <3956> the holy <40> angels <32> with <3326> him <846>_, then <5119> shall he sit <2523> (5692) upon <1909> the throne <2362> of his <846> glory <1391>_:
32And <2532> before <1715> him <846> shall be gathered <4863> (5701) all <3956> nations <1484>_: and <2532> he shall separate <873> (5692) them <846> one <240> (0) from <575> another <240>_, as <5618> a shepherd <4166> divideth <873> (5719) [his] sheep <4263> from <575> the goats <2056>_:
33And <2532> he shall set <2476> (5692) <3303> the sheep <4263> on <1537> his <846> right hand <1188>_, but <1161> the goats <2055> on <1537> the left <2176>_.
34Then <5119> shall the King <935> say <2046> (5692) unto them on <1537> his <846> right hand <1188>_, Come <1205> (5773)_, ye blessed <2127> (5772) of my <3450> Father <3962>_, inherit <2816> (5657) the kingdom <932> prepared <2090> (5772) for you <5213> from <575> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>_:
35For <1063> I was an hungred <3983> (5656)_, and <2532> ye gave <1325> (5656) me <3427> meat <5315> (5629)_: I was thirsty <1372> (5656)_, and <2532> ye gave <4222> (0) me <3165> drink <4222> (5656)_: I was <2252> (5713) a stranger <3581>_, and <2532> ye took <4863> (0) me <3165> in <4863> (5627)_:
36Naked <1131>_, and <2532> ye clothed <4016> (5627) me <3165>_: I was sick <770> (5656)_, and <2532> ye visited <1980> (5662) me <3165>_: I was <2252> (5713) in <1722> prison <5438>_, and <2532> ye came <2064> (5627) unto <4314> me <3165>_.
37Then <5119> shall the righteous <1342> answer <611> (5700) him <846>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Lord <2962>_, when <4219> saw we <1492> (5627) thee <4571> an hungred <3983> (5723)_, and <2532> fed <5142> (5656) [thee]? or <2228> thirsty <1372> (5723)_, and <2532> gave [thee] drink <4222> (5656)_?
38<1161> When <4219> saw we <1492> (5627) thee <4571> a stranger <3581>_, and <2532> took [thee] in <4863> (5627)_? or <2228> naked <1131>_, and <2532> clothed <4016> (5627) [thee]?
39<1161> Or when <4219> saw we <1492> (5627) thee <4571> sick <772>_, or <2228> in <1722> prison <5438>_, and <2532> came <2064> (5627) unto <4314> thee <4571>_?
40And <2532> the King <935> shall answer <611> (5679) and say <2046> (5692) unto them <846>_, Verily <281> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>_, Inasmuch <1909> as <3745> ye have done <4160> (5656) [it] unto one <1520> of the least <1646> of these <5130> my <3450> brethren <80>_, ye have done <4160> (5656) [it] unto me <1698>_.
41Then <5119> shall he say <2046> (5692) also <2532> unto them on <1537> the left hand <2176>_, Depart <4198> (5737) from <575> me <1700>_, ye cursed <2672> (5772)_, into <1519> everlasting <166> fire <4442>_, prepared <2090> (5772) for the devil <1228> and <2532> his <846> angels <32>_:
42For <1063> I was an hungred <3983> (5656)_, and <2532> ye gave <1325> (5656) me <3427> no <3756> meat <5315> (5629)_: I was thirsty <1372> (5656)_, and <2532> ye gave <4222> (0) me <3165> no <3756> drink <4222> (5656)_:
43I was <2252> (5713) a stranger <3581>_, and <2532> ye took <4863> (0) me <3165> not <3756> in <4863> (5627)_: naked <1131>_, and <2532> ye clothed <4016> (5627) me <3165> not <3756>_: sick <772>_, and <2532> in <1722> prison <5438>_, and <2532> ye visited <1980> (5662) me <3165> not <3756>_.
44Then <5119> shall they <846> also <2532> answer <611> (5700) him <846>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Lord <2962>_, when <4219> saw we <1492> (5627) thee <4571> an hungred <3983> (5723)_, or <2228> athirst <1372> (5723)_, or <2228> a stranger <3581>_, or <2228> naked <1131>_, or <2228> sick <772>_, or <2228> in <1722> prison <5438>_, and <2532> did <1247> (0) not <3756> minister <1247> (5656) unto thee <4671>_?
45Then <5119> shall he answer <611> (5700) them <846>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Verily <281> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>_, Inasmuch <1909> as <3745> ye did <4160> (5656) [it] not <3756> to one <1520> of the least <1646> of these <5130>_, ye did <4160> (5656) [it] not <3761> to me <1698>_.
46And <2532> these <3778> shall go away <565> (5695) into <1519> everlasting <166> punishment <2851>_: but <1161> the righteous <1342> into <1519> life <2222> eternal <166>_.
