Matthew 25 : 1 (AKJV)
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25 : 2 (AKJV)
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew 25 : 3 (AKJV)
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matthew 25 : 4 (AKJV)
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25 : 5 (AKJV)
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25 : 6 (AKJV)
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.
Matthew 25 : 7 (AKJV)
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25 : 8 (AKJV)
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Matthew 25 : 9 (AKJV)
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matthew 25 : 10 (AKJV)
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.
Matthew 25 : 11 (AKJV)
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25 : 12 (AKJV)
But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.
Matthew 25 : 13 (AKJV)
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
Matthew 25 : 14 (AKJV)
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
Matthew 25 : 15 (AKJV)
And to 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.
Matthew 25 : 16 (AKJV)
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Matthew 25 : 17 (AKJV)
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
Matthew 25 : 18 (AKJV)
But he that had received one went and dig in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Matthew 25 : 19 (AKJV)
After a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons with them.
Matthew 25 : 20 (AKJV)
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
Matthew 25 : 21 (AKJV)
His lord said to him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25 : 22 (AKJV)
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
Matthew 25 : 23 (AKJV)
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25 : 24 (AKJV)
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strewed:
Matthew 25 : 25 (AKJV)
And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: see, there you have that is yours.
Matthew 25 : 26 (AKJV)
His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed:
Matthew 25 : 27 (AKJV)
You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
Matthew 25 : 28 (AKJV)
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him which has ten talents.
Matthew 25 : 29 (AKJV)
For to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
Matthew 25 : 30 (AKJV)
And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25 : 31 (AKJV)
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
Matthew 25 : 32 (AKJV)
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
Matthew 25 : 33 (AKJV)
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25 : 34 (AKJV)
Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25 : 35 (AKJV)
For I was an hungered, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Matthew 25 : 36 (AKJV)
Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Matthew 25 : 37 (AKJV)
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you an hungered, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?
Matthew 25 : 38 (AKJV)
When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you?
Matthew 25 : 39 (AKJV)
Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came to you?
Matthew 25 : 40 (AKJV)
And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
Matthew 25 : 41 (AKJV)
Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25 : 42 (AKJV)
For I was an hungered, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
Matthew 25 : 43 (AKJV)
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
Matthew 25 : 44 (AKJV)
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you an hungered, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?
Matthew 25 : 45 (AKJV)
Then shall he answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
Matthew 25 : 46 (AKJV)
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
