Chapter 25
Matt Rotherha 25:1  Then, will the kingdom of the heavens become like unto, ten virgins, who, taking their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matt Rotherha 25:2  Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent.
Matt Rotherha 25:3  For, the foolish—though they took, their torches, took not with them, oil:
Matt Rotherha 25:4  But, the prudent, took oil in their vessels, with their torches.
Matt Rotherha 25:5  Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.
Matt Rotherha 25:6  And, at midnight, an outcry hath been made—Lo! the bridegroom! Be going forth to meet him!
Matt Rotherha 25:7  Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches.
Matt Rotherha 25:8  And, the foolish, unto the prudent, said—Give us of your oil, because, our torches, are going out.
Matt Rotherha 25:9  But the prudent, answered, saying—Lest once, by any means, there be not enough for us and you, be going rather unto them that sell, and buy for yourselves
Matt Rotherha 25:10  But, as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and, they who were ready, went in with him, into the marriage-feast, and, the door was locked.
Matt Rotherha 25:11  But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying—Lord! Lord! open unto us!
Matt Rotherha 25:12  And, he, answering, said—Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.
Matt Rotherha 25:13  Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.
Matt Rotherha 25:14  For it is, just as a man, who, going from home, called his own servants, and delivered up to them his substance;
Matt Rotherha 25:15  And, to one, indeed, gave he five talents, and, to another, two, and, to another, one,—to each according to his particular ability, and went from home.
Matt Rotherha 25:16  Straightway, he who, the five talents, had received, went and traded with them, and gained other five:
Matt Rotherha 25:18  But, he who the one had received, went away, and digged up ground, and hid the silver of his lord.
Matt Rotherha 25:19  And, after a long time, cometh the lord of those servants, and reckoneth with them.
Matt Rotherha 25:20  And he who the five talents had received, coming forward, brought other five talents, saying,—Lord! five talents, to me, thou didst deliver up: See! other five talents, I gained.
Matt Rotherha 25:21  His lord said unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant,—Over a few things wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy lord.
Matt Rotherha 25:22  He also of the two talents, coming forward, said—Lord! two talents, to me, didst thou deliver up: See! other two talents, I gained.
Matt Rotherha 25:23  His lord said unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant,—Over a few things, wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy lord.
Matt Rotherha 25:24  But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said—Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown,—and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;
Matt Rotherha 25:25  And, overcome with fear, I went away, and hid thy talent in the ground: See! thou hast what is thine!
Matt Rotherha 25:26  And his lord, answering, said unto him—O wicked servant, and cowardly, knewest thou that I reap, where I have not sown, and gather, whence I have not winnowed?
Matt Rotherha 25:27  It was binding on thee, therefore, to cast my silver into the money-changers,—and, I, when I, came, might have obtained what was mine, with interest.
Matt Rotherha 25:28  Therefore take away, from him, the talent, and give unto him that hath the ten talents;
Matt Rotherha 25:29  For, to every one that hath, shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away from him:
Matt Rotherha 25:30  And, the unprofitable servant, cast ye forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matt Rotherha 25:31  But, whensoever the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the messengers with him, then will he sit on his throne of glory;
Matt Rotherha 25:32  And there will be gathered before him, all the nations, and he will separate them one from another, just as, the shepherd! separateth the sheep from the goats,—
Matt Rotherha 25:33  And he will set, the sheep, indeed, on his right hand, but, the goats, on the left.
Matt Rotherha 25:34  Then, will the king say to those on his right hand: Come ye, the blessed of my Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Matt Rotherha 25:35  For I hungered, and ye gave me to eat, I thirsted, and ye gave me drink, a stranger, was I, and ye took me home,
Matt Rotherha 25:36  Naked, and ye clothed me, sick, and ye visited me, in prison, was I, and ye came unto me.
Matt Rotherha 25:37  Then, will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord! when, saw we thee—hungry, and fed thee, or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Matt Rotherha 25:38  And, when, saw we thee—a stranger, and took thee home, or naked, and clothed thee?
Matt Rotherha 25:39  And, when, saw we thee—sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Matt Rotherha 25:40  And, answering, the king will say unto them: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me, ye did it.
Matt Rotherha 25:41  Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;
Matt Rotherha 25:42  For I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat, [and] I was thirsty, and ye gave me not to drink,
Matt Rotherha 25:43  A stranger, was I, and ye took me not home, naked, and ye clothed me not, sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Matt Rotherha 25:44  Then, will, they also, answer, saying: Lord! when saw we thee—hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto thee?
Matt Rotherha 25:45  Then, will he answer them, saying: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it not, unto one of these least, neither unto me, did ye it.
Matt Rotherha 25:46  And, these, shall go away, into, age-abiding, correction, but, the righteous, into, age-abiding, life.
