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