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