十個伴娘的比喻
25 「那時，天國就像十個伴娘提著燈去迎接新郎， 2 其中五個是糊塗的，五個是聰明的。 3 五個糊塗的只顧拿著燈，卻不預備油； 4 那些聰明的不但拿著燈，還用器皿預備了足夠的油。 5 新郎遲遲未到，她們等得困倦，便打盹睡著了。
6 「到了半夜，忽然聽見有人喊道，『新郎來了！出來迎接吧！』 7 伴娘們醒來，把燈點亮。 8 糊塗的伴娘對聰明的伴娘說，『請給我們一些油吧，因為我們的燈快要滅了！』
9 「聰明的伴娘回答說，『不行，我們的油不夠大家用的，你們去油店買吧！』
10 「當糊塗的伴娘去買油的時候，新郎來了。那些預備好的伴娘跟他一同進去參加婚宴，門就關了。 11 後來，其他伴娘回來了，喊道，『主啊！主啊！請給我們開門吧！』
12 「新郎卻說，『我實在告訴你們，我不認識你們。』
13 「所以，你們要警醒，因為你們不知道我回來的日子和時辰。
才幹的比喻
14 「天國就像一個人即將遠行，他召來自己的奴僕，把產業託付給他們， 15 按各人的才幹分別交給一個人五千銀幣，一個人兩千銀幣，一個人一千銀幣，然後便離開了。 16 得到五千銀幣的立刻去做買賣，結果賺了五千； 17 得到兩千銀幣的也賺了兩千； 18 可是得到一千銀幣的卻挖了一個洞，把主人的錢藏在地裡。 19 過了很久，這些奴僕的主人回來了，要跟他們結帳。 20 得到五千銀幣的奴僕帶來了另外的五千，說，『主人，你交給我五千銀幣，請看，我又賺了五千。』
21 「主人說，『做得好！你真是個又良善又忠心的奴僕。既然你在小事上忠心，我要把更大的事交給你。進來分享你主人的快樂吧！』
22 「得到兩千銀幣的奴僕也上前說，『主人，你交給我兩千銀幣，請看，我又賺了兩千。』
23 「主人說，『做得好！你真是個又良善又忠心的奴僕，既然你在小事上忠心，我要把更大的事交給你。進來分享你主人的快樂吧！』
24 「得到一千銀幣的奴僕也上前說，『主人，我知道你為人苛刻，沒有播種的地方也要收割，沒有撒種的地方也要收穫。 25 我很害怕，就去把你的錢藏在地裡。請看，這是你的錢。』
26 「主人說，『你這又可惡又懶惰的奴僕！既然你知道我沒有播種的地方也要收割，沒有撒種的地方也要收穫， 27 就應該把錢存入錢莊，等我回來時，可以連本帶利還給我。』
28 「主人接著說，『收回他的一千銀幣，賞給那個有一萬銀幣的奴僕。 29 因為凡有的，還要給他更多，使他豐富有餘；凡沒有的，連他僅有的，也要奪去。 30 把這沒用的奴僕扔進外邊的黑暗裡，他必在那裡哀哭切齒。』
末日的審判
31 「當人子在祂的榮耀中與眾天使降臨的時候，祂要坐在榮耀的寶座上， 32 萬民要聚集在祂面前。祂要把他們分開，就像牧人把綿羊和山羊分開一樣。 33 祂要把綿羊放在右邊，山羊放在左邊。 34 那時，王會對右邊的人說，『我父所賜福的人啊，來承受創世以來為你們預備的國度吧。 35 因為我饑餓時，你們給我吃的；我口渴時，你們給我喝的；我身在異鄉時，你們接待我； 36 我赤身露體時，你們給我穿的；我生病時，你們照顧我；我坐牢時，你們來看我。』
37 「那些義人會回答說，『主啊！我們什麼時候見你餓了就給你吃的？見你渴了就給你喝的？ 38 見你身在異鄉就接待你？見你赤身露體就給你穿的呢？ 39 我們又什麼時候見你生病或坐牢，就去看你呢？』
40 「王會回答說，『我實在告訴你們，你們幫助我最卑微的一個弟兄，就是幫助我了。』
41 「王又對左邊的人說，『你們這些被咒詛的人，走開！到專為魔鬼及其使者預備的永遠不滅的火裡去吧！ 42 因為我饑餓時，你們不給我吃的；我口渴時，你們不給我喝的； 43 我身在異鄉時，你們不接待我；我赤身露體時，你們不給我衣服；我生病時，你們不照顧我；我坐牢時，你們不來看我。』
44 「他們會問，『主啊，我們什麼時候見你餓了，或渴了，或身在異鄉，或赤身露體，或病了，或坐牢，卻沒有幫助你呢？』
45 「王會回答說，『我實在告訴你們，你們沒有幫助我最卑微的一個弟兄，就是沒有幫助我。』 46 這些人要受永遠的刑罰，但義人要得到永遠的生命。」

The Voice
25 Jesus: Or picture the kingdom of heaven this way. It will be like ten bridesmaids who each picked up a lantern and went out to meet a certain bridegroom. 2-4 Five of these women were sensible, good with details, and remembered to bring small flasks of oil for their lanterns. But five of them were flighty, too caught up in the excitement of their jaunt, and forgot to bring oil with them. 5 The bridegroom did not turn up right away. Indeed, all the women, while waiting, found themselves falling asleep. 6 And then in the middle of the night, they heard someone call, “The bridegroom is here, finally! Wake up and greet him!” 7 The women got up and trimmed the wicks of their lanterns and prepared to go greet the groom. 8 The five women who had no oil turned to their friends for help.
Ill-prepared Bridesmaids: Please give us some of your oil! Our lanterns are flickering and will go out soon.
9 But the five women who’d come prepared with oil said they didn’t have enough.
Prepared Bridesmaids: If we give you some of our oil, we’ll all run out too soon! You’d better go wake up a dealer and buy your own supply.
10 So the five ill-prepared women went in search of oil to buy, and while they were gone, the groom arrived. The five who stood ready with their lanterns accompanied him to the wedding party, and after they arrived, the door was shut.
11 Finally the rest of the women turned up at the party. They knocked on the door.
Ill-prepared Bridesmaids: Master, open up and let us in!
Bridegroom (refusing): 12 I certainly don’t know you.
13 So stay awake; you neither know the day nor hour [when the Son of Man will come].[a]
Jesus provides a picture of the coming reality of the kingdom of heaven. As they approach the time of His sacrifice, Jesus makes sure the disciples know that soon it will be too late; the door of opportunity will close, and for many the door will remain shut. He gives them another image of the same reality to bring the picture into focus. Once they were bridesmaids waiting for their bridegroom; now they are slaves waiting for their Master. This time they are given responsibilities that will be rewarded. The blessings of the Kingdom bring risks along with the benefits.
Jesus: 14 This is how it will be. It will be like a landowner who is going on a trip. He instructed his slaves about caring for his property. 15 He gave five talents to one slave, two to the next, and then one talent to the last slave—each according to his ability. Then the man left.
16 Promptly the man who had been given five talents went out and bartered and sold and turned his five talents into ten. 17 And the one who had received two talents went to the market and turned his two into four. 18 And the slave who had received just one talent? He dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money there.
19 Eventually the master came back from his travels, found his slaves, and settled up with them. 20 The slave who had been given five talents came forward and told his master how he’d turned five into ten; then he handed the whole lot over to his master.
Master: 21 Excellent. You’ve proved yourself not only clever but loyal. You’ve executed a rather small task masterfully, so now I am going to put you in charge of something larger. But before you go back to work, come join my great feast and celebration.
22 Then the slave who had been given two talents came forward and told his master how he’d turned two into four, and he handed all four talents to his master.
Master: 23 Excellent. You’ve proved yourself not only clever but loyal. You’ve executed a rather small task masterfully, so now I am going to put you in charge of something larger. But before you go back to work, come join my great feast and celebration.
24 Finally the man who had been given one talent came forward.
Servant: Master, I know you are a hard man, difficult in every way. You can make a healthy sum when others would fail. You profit when other people are doing the work. You grow rich on the backs of others. 25 So I was afraid, dug a hole, and hid the talent in the ground. Here it is. You can have it.
26 The master was furious.
Master: You are a pathetic excuse for a servant! You have disproved my trust in you and squandered my generosity. You know I always make a profit! 27 You could have at least put this talent in the bank; then I could have earned a little interest on it! 28 Take that one talent away, and give it to the servant who doubled my money from five to ten.
29 You see, everything was taken away from the man who had nothing, but the man who had something got even more. 30 And as for the slave who made no profit but buried his talent in the ground? His master ordered his slaves to tie him up and throw him outside into the utter darkness where there is miserable mourning and great fear.
31 When the Son of Man comes in all His majesty accompanied by throngs of heavenly messengers, His throne will be wondrous. 32 All the nations will assemble before Him, and He will judge them, distinguishing them from one another as a shepherd isolates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put some, the sheep, at His right hand and some, the goats, at His left. 34 Then the King will say to those to His right,
King: Come here, you beloved, you people whom My Father has blessed. Claim your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of creation. 35 You shall be richly rewarded, for when I was hungry, you fed Me. And when I was thirsty, you gave Me something to drink. I was alone as a stranger, and you welcomed Me into your homes and into your lives. 36 I was naked, and you gave Me clothes to wear; I was sick, and you tended to My needs; I was in prison, and you comforted Me.
37 Even then the righteous will not have achieved perfect understanding and will not recall these things.
Righteous: Master, when did we find You hungry and give You food? When did we find You thirsty and slake Your thirst? 38 When did we find You a stranger and welcome You in, or find You naked and clothe You? 39 When did we find You sick and nurse You to health? When did we visit You when You were in prison?
King: 40 I tell you this: whenever you saw a brother or sister hungry or cold, whatever you did to the least of these, so you did to Me.
41 At that He will turn to those on His left hand.
King: Get away from Me, you despised people whom My Father has cursed. Claim your inheritance—the pits of flaming hell where the devil and his minions suffer. 42 For I was starving, and you left Me with no food. When I was dry and thirsty, you left Me to struggle with nothing to drink. 43 When I was alone as a stranger, you turned away from Me. When I was pitifully naked, you left Me unclothed. When I was sick, you gave Me no care. When I was in prison, you did not comfort Me.
Unrighteous: 44 Master, when did we see You hungry and thirsty? When did we see You friendless or homeless or excluded? When did we see You without clothes? When did we see You sick or in jail? When did we see You in distress and fail to respond?
King: 45 I tell you this: whenever you saw a brother hungry or cold, when you saw a sister weak and without friends, when you saw the least of these and ignored their suffering, so you ignored Me.
46 So these, the goats, will go off to everlasting punishment. But the beloved, the sheep (the righteous), will go into everlasting life.

十个童女的比喻
25 “那时，天国好象十个童女，拿着她们的灯出去迎接新郎。 2 她们中间有五个是愚蠢的，五个是聪明的。 3 那些愚蠢的拿着灯，却没有带油； 4 但那些聪明的拿着灯，也把油装在瓶里带来。 5 新郎很晚还没有到，她们都打瞌睡，而且睡着了。 6 半夜，有人喊叫：‘新郎来了，快出来迎接他。’ 7 那些童女都醒过来，整理她们的灯。 8 愚蠢的对聪明的说：‘请把你们的油分一点给我们，我们的灯快要灭了。’ 9 聪明的回答：‘这些恐怕不够我们大家用，不如你们自己到卖油的地方去买吧！’ 10 她们去买油的时候，新郎来了；准备好了的童女就和他一同进去参加婚筵，门就关上了。 11 后来，其余的童女也来到，说：‘主啊，主啊，给我们开门吧！’ 12 新郎却回答：‘我实在告诉你们，我不认识你们。’ 13 所以你们要警醒，因为不知道那日子和那时间。
三个仆人的比喻（参(A)
14 “天国又像一个人要出外远行，就叫自己的仆人来，把产业交给他们。 15 他按照各人的才干，一个给三万个银币，一个给一万二千个银币，一个给六千个银币（原文作“五个，二个，一个他连得”；一个他连得等于六千个银币），然后就远行去了。 16 那领了三万的马上去做生意，另外赚了三万。 17 那领了一万二千的也是这样，另赚了一万二千。 18 但那领了六千的，却去把地挖开，把主人的钱藏起来。 19 过了很久，那些仆人的主人回来了，要和他们算帐。 20 那领了三万个银币的，带着另外的三万前来，说：‘主啊，你交了三万给我，你看，我又赚了三万。’ 21 主人对他说：‘又良善又忠心的仆人哪，你作得好！你既然在不多的事上忠心，我要派你管理许多的事。进来，享受你主人的快乐吧！’ 22 那领了一万二千的也前来，说：‘主啊，你交了一万二千给我，你看，我又赚了一万二千。’ 23 主人对他说：‘又良善又忠心的仆人哪，你作得好！你既然在不多的事上忠心，我要派你管理许多的事。进来，享受你主人的快乐吧！’ 24 那领了六千的也前来，说：‘主啊，我知道你是个严厉的人，没有撒种的地方，你要收割；没有散播的地方，你要收聚。 25 所以，我就害怕起来，去把你的钱藏在地里。你看，你的钱还在这里。’ 26 可是主人对他说：‘你这个又可恶又懒惰的仆人，你既然知道我要在没有撒种的地方收割，在没有散播的地方收聚， 27 那你就应该把我的钱存入银行，到我回来的时候，可以连本带利收回。 28 你们把他的六千银币拿去，交给那个有六万的。 29 因为凡是有的，还要给他，他就充足有余；凡是没有的，就算他有甚么也要拿去。 30 把这没有用的仆人丢在外面的黑暗里，在那里必要哀哭切齿。’
人子必审判万族
31 “当人子在他的荣耀里，带着所有的使者降临的时候，他要坐在荣耀的宝座上。 32 万族要聚集在他面前，他要把他们彼此分开，好象牧羊人把绵羊和山羊分开一样： 33 把绵羊放在右边，山羊放在左边。 34 那时，王要对右边的说：‘蒙我父赐福的，来承受创世以来为你们预备好的国吧。 35 因为我饿了，你们给我吃；我渴了，你们给我喝；我作旅客，你们接待我； 36 我赤身露体，你们给我衣服穿；我病了，你们看顾我；我在监里，你们来看我。’ 37 义人就回答：‘主啊，我们甚么时候见你饿了就给你吃，渴了就给你喝呢？ 38 又甚么时候见你作旅客就接待你，赤身露体就给你衣服穿呢？ 39 或者甚么时候见你病了，或在监里就来看你呢？’ 40 王要回答他们：‘我实在告诉你们，你们所作的，只要是作在我一个最小的弟兄身上，就是作在我的身上了。’
41 “王也要对左边的说：‘你们这被咒诅的，离开我，到为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去吧！ 42 因为我饿了，你们没有给我吃；我渴了，你们没有给我喝； 43 我作旅客，你们没有接待我；我赤身露体，你们没有给我衣服穿；我病了，我在监里，你们没有看顾我。’ 44 他们就回答：‘主啊，我们甚么时候见你饿了、渴了、作旅客、赤身露体、病了，或在监里，却没有服事你呢？’ 45 王要回答他们：‘我实在告诉你们，这些事你们既然没有作在一个最小的身上，就是没有作在我的身上了。’ 46 他们要进入永远的刑罚，义人却要进入永生。”

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like(A) ten virgins who took their lamps(B) and went out to meet the bridegroom.(C) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(D) 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.(E)
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’(F)
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet.(G) And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’(H)
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.(I)
The Parable of the Bags of Gold(J)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey,(K) who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability.(L) Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.(M) 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(N) Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(O) Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(P) 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(Q)
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes(R) in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.(S) 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate(T) the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(U) 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom(V) prepared for you since the creation of the world.(W) 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,(X) 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,(Y) I was sick and you looked after me,(Z) I was in prison and you came to visit me.’(AA)
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’(AB)
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(AC) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(AD) prepared for the devil and his angels.(AE) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(AF)
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.(AG)”(AH)
