1"Then<5119> the kingdom<932> of heaven<3772> will be comparable<3666> to ten<1176> virgins<3933>, who<3748> took<2983> their lamps<2985> and went<1831> out to meet<5222> the bridegroom<3566>.
2"Five<4002> of them were foolish<3474>, and five<4002> were prudent<5429>.
3"For when the foolish<3474> took<2983> their lamps<2985>, they took<2983> no<3756> oil<1637> with them,
4but the prudent<5429> took<2983> oil<1637> in flasks<30> along with their lamps<2985>.
5"Now<1161> while the bridegroom<3566> was delaying<5549>, they all<3956> got<3573> drowsy<3573> and began to sleep<2518>.
6"But at midnight<3319><3571> there was a shout<2906>, 'Behold<2400>, the bridegroom<3566>! Come<1831> out to meet<529> him.'
7"Then<5119> all<3956> those<1565> virgins<3933> rose<1453> and trimmed<2885> their lamps<2985>.
8"The foolish<3474> said<3004> to the prudent<5429>, 'Give<1325> us some<1537> of your oil<1637>, for our lamps<2985> are going<4570> out.'
9"But the prudent<5429> answered<611>, 'No<3379>, there will not be enough<714> for us and you too; go<4198> instead<3123> to the dealers<4453> and buy<59> some for yourselves<1438>.'
10"And while they were going<565> away<565> to make<59> the purchase<59>, the bridegroom<3566> came<2064>, and those<3588> who were ready<2092> went<1525> in with him to the wedding<1062> feast<1062>; and the door<2374> was shut<2808>.
11"Later<5305> the other<3062> virgins<3933> also<2532> came<2064>, saying<3004>, 'Lord<2962>, lord<2962>, open<455> up for us.'
12"But he answered<611>, 'Truly<281> I say<3004> to you, I do not know<3609> you.'
13"Be on the alert<1127> then<3767>, for you do not know<3609> the day<2250> nor<3761> the hour<5610>.
14"For it is just<5618> like<5618> a man<444> about to go<589> on a journey<589>, who called<2564> his own<2398> slaves<1401> and entrusted<3860> his possessions<5225> to them.
15"To one<3739> he gave<1325> five<4002> talents<5007>, to another<3739><1161>, two<1417>, and to another<3739><1161>, one<1520>, each<1538> according<2596> to his own<2398> ability<1411>; and he went<589> on his journey<589>.
16"Immediately<2112> the one who had received<2983> the five<4002> talents<5007> went<4198> and traded<2038> with them, and gained<2770> five<4002> more<243> talents.
17"In the same<5615> manner<5615> the one who had received the two<1417> talents gained<2770> two<1417> more<243>.
18"But he who received<2983> the one<1520> talent went<565> away<565>, and dug<3736> a hole in the ground<1093> and hid<2928> his master's<2962> money<694>.
19"Now<1161> after<3326> a long<4183> time<5550> the master<2962> of those<1565> slaves<1401> *came<2064> and *settled<4868> accounts<3056> with them.
20"The one who had received<2983> the five<4002> talents<5007> came<4334> up and brought<4374> five<4002> more<243> talents<5007>, saying<3004>, 'Master<2962>, you entrusted<3860> five<4002> talents<5007> to me. See<2396>, I have gained<2770> five<4002> more<243> talents<5007>.'
21"His master<2962> said<5346> to him, 'Well<2095> done<2095>, good<18> and faithful<4103> slave<1401>. You were faithful<4103> with a few<3641> things<3641>, I will put<2525> you in charge<2525> of many<4183> things<4183>; enter<1525> into the joy<5479> of your master<2962>.'
22"Also<2532> the one<3588> who<3588> had received the two<1417> talents<5007> came<4334> up and said<3004>, 'Master<2962>, you entrusted<3860> two<1417> talents<5007> to me. See<2396>, I have gained<2770> two<1417> more<243> talents<5007>.'
23"His master<2962> said<5346> to him, 'Well<2095> done<2095>, good<18> and faithful<4103> slave<1401>. You were faithful<4103> with a few<3641> things<3641>, I will put<2525> you in charge<2525> of many<4183> things<4183>; enter<1525> into the joy<5479> of your master<2962>.'
24"And the one also<2532> who had received<2983> the one<1520> talent<5007> came<4334> up and said<3004>, 'Master<2962>, I knew<1097> you to be a hard<4642> man<444>, reaping<2325> where<3699> you did not sow<4687> and gathering<4863> where<3606> you scattered<1287> no<3756> seed.
25'And I was afraid<5399>, and went<565> away<565> and hid<2928> your talent<5007> in the ground<1093>. See<2396>, you have<2192> what<3588> is yours<4674>.'
26"But his master<2962> answered<611> and said<3004> to him, 'You wicked<4190>, lazy<3636> slave<1401>, you knew<3609> that I reap<2325> where<3699> I did not sow<4687> and gather<4863> where<3606> I scattered<1287> no<3756> seed.
27'Then<3767> you ought<1163> to have put<906> my money<694> in the bank<5133>, and on my arrival<2064> I would have received<2865> my money back<2865> with interest<5110>.
28'Therefore<3767> take<142> away<142> the talent<5007> from him, and give<1325> it to the one who has<2192> the ten<1176> talents<5007>.'
29"For to everyone<3956> who has<2192>, more shall be given<1325>, and he will have<4052> an abundance<4052>; but from the one who does not have<2192>, even<2532> what<3739> he does have<2192> shall be taken<142> away<142>.
30"Throw<1544> out the worthless<888> slave<1401> into the outer<1857> darkness<4655>; in that place<1563> there<1563> will be weeping<2805> and gnashing<1030> of teeth<3599>.
31"But when<3752> the Son<5207> of Man<444> comes<2064> in His glory<1391>, and all<3956> the angels<32> with Him, then<5119> He will sit<2523> on His glorious<1391> throne<2362>.
32"All<3956> the nations<1484> will be gathered<4863> before<1715> Him; and He will separate<873> them from one<240> another<240>, as the shepherd<4166> separates<873> the sheep<4263> from the goats<2056>;
33and He will put<2476> the sheep<4263> on His right<1188>, and the goats<2055> on the left<2176>.
34"Then<5119> the King<935> will say<3004> to those<3588> on His right<1188>, 'Come<1205>, you who are blessed<2127> of My Father<3962>, inherit<2816> the kingdom<932> prepared<2090> for you from the foundation<2602> of the world<2889>.
35'For I was hungry<3983>, and you gave<1325> Me something to eat<2068>; I was thirsty<1372>, and you gave<4222> Me something to drink<4222>; I was a stranger<3581>, and you invited<4863> Me in;
36naked<1131>, and you clothed<4016> Me; I was sick<770>, and you visited<1980> Me; I was in prison<5438>, and you came<2064> to Me.'
37"Then<5119> the righteous<1342> will answer<611> Him, 'Lord<2962>, when<4219> did we see<3708> You hungry<3983>, and feed<5142> You, or<2228> thirsty<1372>, and give<4222> You something to drink<4222>?
38'And when<4219> did we see<3708> You a stranger<3581>, and invite<4863> You in, or<2228> naked<1131>, and clothe<4016> You?
39'When<4219> did we see<3708> You sick<770>, or<2228> in prison<5438>, and come<2064> to You?'
40"The King<935> will answer<611> and say<3004> to them, 'Truly<281> I say<3004> to you, to the extent<1909><3745> that you did<4160> it to one<1520> of these<3778> brothers<80> of Mine<1473>, even the least<1646> of them, you did<4160> it to Me.'
41"Then<5119> He will also<2532> say<3004> to those<3588> on His left<2176>, 'Depart<4198> from Me, accursed<2672> ones, into the eternal<166> fire<4442> which has been prepared<2090> for the devil<1228> and his angels<32>;
42for I was hungry<3983>, and you gave<1325> Me nothing to eat<2068>; I was thirsty<1372>, and you gave<4222> Me nothing<3756> to drink<4222>;
43I was a stranger<3581>, and you did not invite<4863> Me in; naked<1131>, and you did not clothe<4016> Me; sick<772>, and in prison<5438>, and you did not visit<1980> Me.'
44"Then<5119> they themselves<846> also<2532> will answer<611>, 'Lord<2962>, when<4219> did we see<3708> You hungry<3983>, or<2228> thirsty<1372>, or<2228> a stranger<3581>, or<2228> naked<1131>, or<2228> sick<772>, or<2228> in prison<5438>, and did not take<1247> care<1247> of You?'
45"Then<5119> He will answer<611> them, 'Truly<281> I say<3004> to you, to the extent<1909><3745> that you did<4160> not do<4160> it to one<1520> of the least<1646> of these<3778>, you did<4160> not do<4160> it to Me.'
46"These<3778> will go<565> away<565> into eternal<166> punishment<2851>, but the righteous<1342> into eternal<166> life<2222>."
