rwbs@Matthew:25:1 @ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

rwbs@Matthew:25:2 @ And five of them were wise, and five foolish.

rwbs@Matthew:25:3 @ They that foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

rwbs@Matthew:25:4 @ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

rwbs@Matthew:25:5 @ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

rwbs@Matthew:25:6 @ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

rwbs@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

rwbs@Matthew:25:8 @ And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (note:)gone out: or, going out(:note)

rwbs@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise answered, saying,; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

rwbs@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

rwbs@Matthew:25:11 @ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

rwbs@Matthew:25:12 @ But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.

rwbs@Matthew:25:13 @ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh.

rwbs@Matthew:25:14 @ For as a man travelling into a far country, called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.

rwbs@Matthew:25:15 @ And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey. (note:)talents: a talent is one hundred and eighty seven pounds ten shillings(:note)

rwbs@Matthew:25:16 @ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.

rwbs@Matthew:25:17 @ And likewise he that two, he also gained other two.

rwbs@Matthew:25:18 @ But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

rwbs@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

rwbs@Matthew:25:20 @ And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.

rwbs@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said to 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.

rwbs@Matthew:25:22 @ He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

rwbs@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said to 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.

rwbs@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he who 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 scattered seed:

rwbs@Matthew:25:25 @ And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine.

rwbs@Matthew:25:26 @ His lord answered and said to him, wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:

rwbs@Matthew:25:27 @ Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and at my coming I should have received my own with interest.

rwbs@Matthew:25:28 @ Take therefore the talent from him, and give to him who hath ten talents.

rwbs@Matthew:25:29 @ For to 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.

rwbs@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rwbs@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:

rwbs@Matthew:25:32 @ And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth sheep from the goats:

rwbs@Matthew:25:33 @ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

rwbs@Matthew:25:34 @ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

rwbs@Matthew:25:35 @ For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

rwbs@Matthew:25:36 @ Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.

rwbs@Matthew:25:37 @ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed? or thirsty, and gave drink?

rwbs@Matthew:25:38 @ When saw we thee a stranger, and took in? or naked, and clothed?

rwbs@Matthew:25:39 @ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?

rwbs@Matthew:25:40 @ And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done to me.

rwbs@Matthew:25:41 @ Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

rwbs@Matthew:25:42 @ For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

rwbs@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.

rwbs@Matthew:25:44 @ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?

rwbs@Matthew:25:45 @ Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me.

rwbs@Matthew:25:46 @ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
