Matthew 25 (22:10) Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom;

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(22:10) Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; ² and five of them were foolish, and five wise. ³ The foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them; ⁴ but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps. ⁵ And while the bridegroom delayed, all slumbered and slept; ⁶ but at midnight there was a cry, Behold the bridegroom; go out to meet him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their own lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out. ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, [No]; lest there be not enough for us and you; go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And while they went to buy the bridegroom came; and the ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut. ¹¹ And afterwards the other virgins came, and said, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹² But he answered and said, I tell you truly I know you not. ¹³ Watch, therefore, for you know not the day nor the hour. ¹⁴ ^(22:11) For, as a man going abroad called his servants, and delivered to them his estates; ¹⁵ to one he gave five talents [$5,000], to another two [$2,000], and to another one [$1,000]; to each according to his ability, and immediately went abroad. ¹⁶ And he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five; ¹⁷ in like manner, also, he that received the two gained two others; ¹⁸ but he that received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord's money. ¹⁹ And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and had a settlement with them. ²⁰ And he that received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you committed to me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents. ²¹ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. ²² And he that received the two talents also came to him and said, Lord, you committed to me two talents; behold, I have gained two others. ²³ His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. ²⁴ ^(22:12) And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed, and gathering where you have not scattered, ²⁵ and being afraid I went away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is yours. ²⁶ And his Lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather whence I have not scattered? ²⁷ And you ought then to have given my money to the brokers, and at my coming, I should have received my own with interest. ²⁸ Take his talent, therefore, from him, and give it to him that has ten talents; ²⁹ for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away; ³⁰ and cast the unprofitable servant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. ³¹ ^(22:13) But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory, ³² and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; ³³ and he shall place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. ³⁴ ^(22:14) Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; ³⁵ for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; ³⁶ naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me. ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and give you drink? ³⁸ when did we see you a stranger, and take you in? or naked, and clothe you? ³⁹ when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you? ⁴⁰ And the king shall answer and say to them, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me. ⁴¹ ^(22:15) Then shall he say to those on his left hand, Depart from me accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; ⁴³ a stranger, and you took me not in; sick and in prison and you visited me not. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer and say, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you? ⁴⁵ Then he shall answer them saying, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have not done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have not done it to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.
