Matthew 25

1 The parable of the ten virgins, 14 and of the talents. 31 Also the description of the last judgment.

 25:1 “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.

 25:2 “Five 4002 of them were foolish 3474, and five 4002 were prudent 5429.

 25:3 “For when the foolish 3474 took 2983 their lamps 2985, they took 2983 no 3756 oil 1637 with them,

 25:4 but the prudent 5429 took 2983 oil 1637 in flasks 30 along with their lamps 2985.

 25:5 “Now 1161 while the bridegroom 3566 was delaying 5549, they all 3956 got 3573 drowsy 3573 and [began] to sleep 2518.

 25:6 “But at midnight 3319 3571 there was a shout 2906, ‘Behold 2400, the bridegroom 3566! Come 1831 out to meet 529 [him].’

 25:7 “Then 5119 all 3956 those 1565 virgins 3933 rose 1453 and trimmed 2885 their lamps 2985.

 25:8 “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.’

 25:9 “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.’

 25:10 “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.

 25:11 “Later 5305 the other 3062 virgins 3933 also 2532 came 2064, saying 3004, ‘Lord 2962, lord 2962, open 455 up for us.’

 25:12 “But he answered 611, ‘Truly 281 I say 3004 to you, I do not know 3609a you.’

 25:13 “Be on the alert 1127 then 3767, for you do not know 3609a the day 2250 nor 3761 the hour 5610.

 25:14 ¶ “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.

 25:15 “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.

 25:16 “Immediately 2112 the one who had received 2983 the five 4002 talents 5007 went 4198 and traded 2038b with them, and gained 2770 five 4002 more 243 talents.

 25:17 “In the same 5615 manner 5615 the one who [had received] the two 1417 [talents] gained 2770 two 1417 more 243.

 25:18 “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.

 25:19 ¶ “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.

 25:20 “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.’

 25:21 “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.’

 25:22 ¶ “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.’

 25:23 “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.’

 25:24 ¶ “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].

 25:25 ‘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.’

 25:26 ¶ “But his master 2962 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, ‘You wicked 4190, lazy 3636 slave 1401, you knew 3609a that I reap 2325 where 3699 I did not sow 4687 and gather 4863 where 3606 I scattered 1287 no 3756 [seed].

 25:27 ‘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.

 25:28 ‘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.’

 25:29 ¶ “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.

 25:30 “Throw 1544b 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.

 25:31 ¶ “But when 3752 the Son 5207 of Man 444 comes 2064 in His glory 1391, and all 3956 the angels 32a with Him, then 5119 He will sit 2523 on His glorious 1391 throne 2362.

 25:32 “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 4263b from the goats 2056;

 25:33 and He will put 2476 the sheep 4263b on His right 1188, and the goats 2055 on the left 2176.

 25:34 ¶ “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.

 25:35 ‘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;

 25:36 naked 1131, and you clothed 4016 Me; I was sick 770, and you visited 1980a Me; I was in prison 5438, and you came 2064 to Me.’

 25:37 “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?

 25:38 ‘And when 4219 did we see 3708 You a stranger 3581, and invite 4863 You in, or 2228 naked 1131, and clothe 4016 You?

 25:39 ‘When 4219 did we see 3708 You sick 770, or 2228 in prison 5438, and come 2064 to You?’

 25:40 “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.’

 25:41 ¶ “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 32a;

 25:42 for 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;

 25:43 I 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 1980a Me.’

 25:44 “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?’

 25:45 “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.’

 25:46 “These 3778 will go 565 away 565 into eternal 166 punishment 2851, but the righteous 1342 into eternal 166 life 2222.”
