Matthew 25 RV1885 — Matthew 25

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. RV1885 — Matthew 25:1

2 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. RV1885 — Matthew 25:2

3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: RV1885 — Matthew 25:3

4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. RV1885 — Matthew 25:4

5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. RV1885 — Matthew 25:5

6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. RV1885 — Matthew 25:6

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. RV1885 — Matthew 25:7

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. RV1885 — Matthew 25:8

9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. RV1885 — Matthew 25:9

10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. RV1885 — Matthew 25:10

11 Afterward come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. RV1885 — Matthew 25:11

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. RV1885 — Matthew 25:12

13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. RV1885 — Matthew 25:13

14 For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. RV1885 — Matthew 25:14

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. RV1885 — Matthew 25:15

16 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. RV1885 — Matthew 25:16

17 In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. RV1885 — Matthew 25:17

18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. RV1885 — Matthew 25:18

19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. RV1885 — Matthew 25:19

20 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. RV1885 — Matthew 25:20

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. RV1885 — Matthew 25:21

22 And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. RV1885 — Matthew 25:22

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. RV1885 — Matthew 25:23

24 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter: RV1885 — Matthew 25:24

25 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. RV1885 — Matthew 25:25

26 But 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 did not scatter; RV1885 — Matthew 25:26

27 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. RV1885 — Matthew 25:27

28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. RV1885 — Matthew 25:28

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. RV1885 — Matthew 25:29

30 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. RV1885 — Matthew 25:30

31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: RV1885 — Matthew 25:31

32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: RV1885 — Matthew 25:32

33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. RV1885 — Matthew 25:33

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: RV1885 — Matthew 25:34

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; RV1885 — Matthew 25:35

36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. RV1885 — Matthew 25:36

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? RV1885 — Matthew 25:37

38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? RV1885 — Matthew 25:38

39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? RV1885 — Matthew 25:39

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. RV1885 — Matthew 25:40

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: RV1885 — Matthew 25:41

42 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: RV1885 — Matthew 25:42

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. RV1885 — Matthew 25:43

44 Then shall they also answer, 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? RV1885 — Matthew 25:44

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. RV1885 — Matthew 25:45

46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. RV1885 — Matthew 25:46
