The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=7|text=Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=8|text=The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=9|text=But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=10|text=While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=11|text=Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=12|text=But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=13|text=Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=14|text=“For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=15|text=To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=16|text=Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=17|text=In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=18|text=But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=19|text=“Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=20|text=He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=21|text=“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=22|text=“He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=23|text=“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=24|text=“He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=25|text=I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=26|text=“But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=27|text=You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=28|text=Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=29|text=For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=30|text=Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=31|text=“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=32|text=Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=33|text=He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=34|text=Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;}}{{BibleVerse|verse=35|text=for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.}}{{BibleVerse|verse=36|text=I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=37|text=“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?}}{{BibleVerse|verse=38|text=When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?}}{{BibleVerse|verse=39|text=When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=40|text=“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=41|text=Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;}}{{BibleVerse|verse=42|text=for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;}}{{BibleVerse|verse=43|text=I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=44|text=“Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’}}

{{BibleVerse|verse=45|text=“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’}}{{BibleVerse|verse=46|text=These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”}}
