十个伴娘的比喻
25 “那时，天国就像十个伴娘提着灯去迎接新郎， 2 其中五个是糊涂的，五个是聪明的。 3 五个糊涂的只顾拿着灯，却不预备油； 4 那些聪明的不但拿着灯，还用器皿预备了足够的油。 5 新郎迟迟未到，她们等得困倦，便打盹睡着了。
6 “到了半夜，忽然听见有人喊道，‘新郎来了！出来迎接吧！’ 7 伴娘们醒来，把灯点亮。 8 糊涂的伴娘对聪明的伴娘说，‘请给我们一些油吧，因为我们的灯快要灭了！’
9 “聪明的伴娘回答说，‘不行，我们的油不够大家用的，你们去油店买吧！’
10 “当糊涂的伴娘去买油的时候，新郎来了。那些预备好的伴娘跟他一同进去参加婚宴，门就关了。 11 后来，其他伴娘回来了，喊道，‘主啊！主啊！请给我们开门吧！’
12 “新郎却说，‘我实在告诉你们，我不认识你们。’
13 “所以，你们要警醒，因为你们不知道我回来的日子和时辰。
才干的比喻
14 “天国就像一个人即将远行，他召来自己的奴仆，把产业托付给他们， 15 按各人的才干分别交给一个人五千银币，一个人两千银币，一个人一千银币，然后便离开了。 16 得到五千银币的立刻去做买卖，结果赚了五千； 17 得到两千银币的也赚了两千； 18 可是得到一千银币的却挖了一个洞，把主人的钱藏在地里。 19 过了很久，这些奴仆的主人回来了，要跟他们结帐。 20 得到五千银币的奴仆带来了另外的五千，说，‘主人，你交给我五千银币，请看，我又赚了五千。’
21 “主人说，‘做得好！你真是个又良善又忠心的奴仆。既然你在小事上忠心，我要把更大的事交给你。进来分享你主人的快乐吧！’
22 “得到两千银币的奴仆也上前说，‘主人，你交给我两千银币，请看，我又赚了两千。’
23 “主人说，‘做得好！你真是个又良善又忠心的奴仆，既然你在小事上忠心，我要把更大的事交给你。进来分享你主人的快乐吧！’
24 “得到一千银币的奴仆也上前说，‘主人，我知道你为人苛刻，没有播种的地方也要收割，没有撒种的地方也要收获。 25 我很害怕，就去把你的钱藏在地里。请看，这是你的钱。’
26 “主人说，‘你这又可恶又懒惰的奴仆！既然你知道我没有播种的地方也要收割，没有撒种的地方也要收获， 27 就应该把钱存入钱庄，等我回来时，可以连本带利还给我。’
28 “主人接着说，‘收回他的一千银币，赏给那个有一万银币的奴仆。 29 因为凡有的，还要给他更多，使他丰富有余；凡没有的，连他仅有的，也要夺去。 30 把这没用的奴仆扔进外边的黑暗里，他必在那里哀哭切齿。’
末日的审判
31 “当人子在祂的荣耀中与众天使降临的时候，祂要坐在荣耀的宝座上， 32 万民要聚集在祂面前。祂要把他们分开，就像牧人把绵羊和山羊分开一样。 33 祂要把绵羊放在右边，山羊放在左边。 34 那时，王会对右边的人说，‘我父所赐福的人啊，来承受创世以来为你们预备的国度吧。 35 因为我饥饿时，你们给我吃的；我口渴时，你们给我喝的；我身在异乡时，你们接待我； 36 我赤身露体时，你们给我穿的；我生病时，你们照顾我；我坐牢时，你们来看我。’
37 “那些义人会回答说，‘主啊！我们什么时候见你饿了就给你吃的？见你渴了就给你喝的？ 38 见你身在异乡就接待你？见你赤身露体就给你穿的呢？ 39 我们又什么时候见你生病或坐牢，就去看你呢？’
40 “王会回答说，‘我实在告诉你们，你们帮助我最卑微的一个弟兄，就是帮助我了。’
41 “王又对左边的人说，‘你们这些被咒诅的人，走开！到专为魔鬼及其使者预备的永远不灭的火里去吧！ 42 因为我饥饿时，你们不给我吃的；我口渴时，你们不给我喝的； 43 我身在异乡时，你们不接待我；我赤身露体时，你们不给我衣服；我生病时，你们不照顾我；我坐牢时，你们不来看我。’
44 “他们会问，‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，或渴了，或身在异乡，或赤身露体，或病了，或坐牢，却没有帮助你呢？’
45 “王会回答说，‘我实在告诉你们，你们没有帮助我最卑微的一个弟兄，就是没有帮助我。’ 46 这些人要受永远的刑罚，但义人要得到永远的生命。”

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 ten virgins[a] who took their lamps[b] and went out to meet the groom.(A) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(B) 3 When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take oil with them; 4 but the wise ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps. 5 When the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 ‘In the middle of the night there was a shout: “Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.”
7 ‘Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise ones, “Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.”
9 ‘The wise ones answered, “No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell oil, and buy some for yourselves.”
10 ‘When they had gone to buy some, the groom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.(C) 11 Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, “Master, master, open up for us! ”
12 ‘He replied, “Truly I tell you, I don’t know you! ”
13 ‘Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour.[c]
The Parable of the Talents
14 ‘For it is just like a man about to go on a journey.(D) He called his own servants and entrusted his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents,[d] to another two talents, and to another one talent, depending on each one’s ability. Then he went on a journey.(E) Immediately 16 the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more. 17 In the same way the man with two earned two more. 18 But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 ‘After a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, “Master, you gave me five talents. See, I’ve earned five more talents.”
21 ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.”(F)
22 ‘The man with two talents also approached. He said, “Master, you gave me two talents. See, I’ve earned two more talents.”
23 ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.”
24 ‘The man who had received one talent also approached and said, “Master, I know you. You’re a harsh man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.(G) 25 So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.”
26 ‘His master replied to him, “You evil, lazy servant!(H) If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered, 27 then[e] you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and I would have received my money[f] back with interest when I returned.
28 ‘ “So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.(I) 30 And throw this good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness,(J) where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
The Sheep and the Goats
31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels[g](K) with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.(L) 32 All the nations[h](M) will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(N) 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the kingdom(O) prepared for you from the foundation of the world.(P)
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 took me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was ill and you took care of me; I was in prison and you visited me.”(Q)
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 take you in, or without clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you ill, or in prison, and visit you? ”
40 ‘And the King will answer them, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”(R)
41 ‘Then he will also say to those on the left, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!(S) 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 didn’t take me in; I was naked and you didn’t clothe me, ill and in prison and you didn’t take care of me.”
44 ‘Then they too will answer, “Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or ill, or in prison, and not help you? ”
45 ‘Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”(T)
46 ‘And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’(U)
