- "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
- "Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
- "For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,
- but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
- "Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.
|
- "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'
- "Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
- "The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
- "But the prudent answered, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'
- "And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.
|
- "Later the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, lord, open up for us.'
- "But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'
- "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
- "For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.
- "To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.
|
- "Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.
- "In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.
- "But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
- "Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
- "The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.'
|
- "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'
- "Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, 'Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.'
- "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'
- "And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.
- 'And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'
|
- "But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.
- 'Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.
- 'Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'
- "For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.
- "Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
