Parable of Ten Virgins

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:1 -

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:2 - “Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:3 - “For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:4 - but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:5 - “Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:6 - “But at midnight [fn]there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:7 - “Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:8 - “But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:9 - “However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:10 - “But while they were [fn]on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:11 - “Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:12 - “But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:13 - “Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour.

Parable of the Talents

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:14 -

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:15 - “To one he gave five [fn]talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:16 - “The one who had received the five talents immediately went and did business with them, and earned five more talents.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:17 - “In the same way the one who had received the two talents earned two more.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:18 - “But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his [fn]master’s money.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:19 -

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:20 - “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 earned five more talents.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:21 - “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 the joy of your [fn]master.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:22 -

“Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have earned two more talents.’

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:23 - “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 the joy of your master.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:24 -

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:25 - ‘And I was afraid, so I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you still have what is yours.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:26 -

“But his master answered and said to him, ‘You [fn]worthless, lazy slave! Did you know that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter seed?

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:27 - ‘Then you ought to have [fn]put my money in the bank, and [fn]on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:28 - ‘Therefore: take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:29 -

“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.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:30 - “And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:32 - “And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:33 - and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:34 -

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:35 - ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:36 - naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:37 - “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:38 - ‘And when did we see You as a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:39 - ‘And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:40 - “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:41 -

“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you accursed people, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:42 - for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:43 - I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:44 - “Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or as a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not [fn]take care of You?’
