Tyndale - Matthew - 25

25:1  Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:

25:2  fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.

25:3  The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.

25:4  But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.

25:5  Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.

25:6  And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.

25:7  Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.

25:8  And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?

25:9  but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.

25:10  And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:

25:11  Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.

25:12  But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.

25:13  Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.

25:14  Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.

25:15  And vnto one he gave .v. talentes to another .ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.

25:16  Then he that had receaved the fyve talentes went and bestowed them and wanne other fyve talentes.

25:17  Lykwyse he that receaved .ii. gayned other .ii.

25:18  But he yt receaved ye one went and digged a pit in the erth and hyd his masters money.

25:19  After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the.

25:20  Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo.

25:21  The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.

25:22  Also he that receaved .ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me .ii. talentes: beholde I have wone .ii. other talentes with them.

25:23  And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye.

25:24  Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not

25:25  and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne.

25:26  His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:

25:27  thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage.

25:28  Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath .x. talentes.

25:29  For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.

25:30  And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.

25:31  When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie

25:32  and before him shalbe Gaddred all nacions. And he shall seperate the one from a nother as a shepherde deuideth the shepe from the gootes.

25:33  And he shall set the shepe on his right honde and the gotes on the lyfte.

25:34  Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.

25:35  For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me.

25:36  I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sicke and ye visited me. I was in preson and ye came vnto me.

25:37  Then shall ye righteous answere him sayinge master whe sawe we ye anhongred and feed the? or a thurst and gave ye drinke?

25:38  when sawe we ye herbourlesse and lodged the? or naked and clothed the?

25:39  or when sawe we the sicke or in preson and came vnto the?

25:40  And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me.

25:41  Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels.

25:42  For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meate. I thursted and ye gave me no drinke.

25:43  I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me not. I was naked and ye clothed me not. I was sicke and in preson and ye visited me not.

25:44  Then shall they also answere him sayinge: master when sawe we the an hungred or a thurst or herbourlesse or naked or sicke or in preson and did not ministre vnto the?

25:45  Then shall he answere the and saye: Verely I saye vnto you in as moche as ye did it not to one of ye leest of these ye did it not to me.

25:46  And these shall go into everlastinge payne: And the righteous into lyfe eternall.
