Matthew 25	Matthew 25
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.	Matthew 25:1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.
Matthew 25:2 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.	Matthew 25:2 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Matthew 25:3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:	Matthew 25:3 For the foolish, when they took their lights, took no oil with them.
Matthew 25:4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.	Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lights.
Matthew 25:5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.	Matthew 25:5 Now the husband was a long time in coming, and they all went to sleep.
Matthew 25:6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.	Matthew 25:6 But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.
Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.	Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins got up, and made ready their lights.
Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.	Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lights are going out.
Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.	Matthew 25:9 But the wise made answer, saying, There may not be enough for us and you; it would be better for you to go to the traders and get oil for yourselves.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.	Matthew 25:10 And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.	Matthew 25:11 After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.
Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.	Matthew 25:12 But he made answer and said, Truly I say to you, I have no knowledge of you.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.	Matthew 25:13 Keep watch, then, because you are not certain of the day or of the hour.
Matthew 25:14 For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.	Matthew 25:14 For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property.
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.	Matthew 25:15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to everyone as he was able; and he went on his journey.
Matthew 25:16 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.	Matthew 25:16 Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.
Matthew 25:17 In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.	Matthew 25:17 In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.
Matthew 25:18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.	Matthew 25:18 But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.
Matthew 25:19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.	Matthew 25:19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.
Matthew 25:20 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.	Matthew 25:20 And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.	Matthew 25:21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25:22 And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.	Matthew 25:22 And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.
Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.	Matthew 25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25:24 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;	Matthew 25:24 And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:
Matthew 25:25 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.	Matthew 25:25 And I was in fear, and went away, and put your talent in the earth: here is what is yours.
Matthew 25:26 But 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 did not scatter;	Matthew 25:26 But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,
Matthew 25:27 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.	Matthew 25:27 Why, then, did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I would have got back what is mine with interest?
Matthew 25:28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.	Matthew 25:28 Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.	Matthew 25:29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.	Matthew 25:30 And put out the servant who is of no profit into the outer dark: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

Matthew 25:32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;	Matthew 25:32 And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.
Matthew 25:33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.	Matthew 25:33 And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
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:	Matthew 25:34 Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:
Matthew 25:35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;	Matthew 25:35 For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;
Matthew 25:36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.	Matthew 25:36 I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:	Matthew 25:41 Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:
Matthew 25:42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;	Matthew 25:42 For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:
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.	Matthew 25:43 I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.
Matthew 25:44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?	Matthew 25:44 Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?
