十个童女的比喻
25 “那时，天国好比十个童女，拿着她们的灯出去迎接新郎[a]。 2 她们当中有五个是愚拙的，五个是聪明的。 3 那些愚拙的童女带着她们的灯，却没有带油； 4 而那些聪明的带着瓶子里的油，以及自己的灯。 5 后来新郎迟延不到，她们都打盹，睡着了。
6 “半夜里，有人喧嚷：‘看哪，是新郎！你们出来迎接他！’
7 “十个[b]童女都醒过来，修整她们的灯。 8 愚拙的对聪明的说：‘请把你们的油分一点给我们，因为我们的灯要灭了。’
9 “但那些聪明的回答说：‘不行，绝不够我们和你们用的。你们还是到卖油的那里去，为自己买吧。’
10 “可是她们去买的时候，新郎就来了。那些预备好了的，与新郎一同进去赴婚宴，门就关上了。
11 “后来其余的童女也来了，说：‘主啊，主啊，请给我们开门！’
12 “但是新郎回答说：‘我确实地告诉你们：我不认识你们。’
13 “所以你们要警醒，因为你们不知道[c]那日子和那时刻。
受托银子的比喻
14 “天国又好比一个人要出外旅行，就叫来自己的奴仆们，把他所拥有的交托给他们。 15 他按照每个人自己的能力，一个给了五千两银子[d]，一个给了两千两[e]，一个给了一千两[f]，然后就出外旅行。 16 那领了五千的，立刻用这些钱去做生意，另外赚了五千。 17 那领了两千的，也照样另赚了两千。 18 可是那领了一千的，却出去挖地，把他主人的银子藏起来。
19 “过了很久，那些奴仆的主人回来，与他们清算账目。 20 那领了五千两银子的，带着另外的五千两上前来，说：‘主啊，你交托给我五千两银子，请看，我另外赚了五千两。’
21 “主人对他说：‘做得好，忠心的好奴仆！你在少许的事上忠心，我要委任你统管很多的事。进来分享你主人的快乐吧！’
22 “那领了两千两银子的也上前来，说：‘主啊，你交托给我两千两银子，请看，我另外赚了两千两。’
23 “主人对他说：‘做得好，忠心的好奴仆！你在少许的事上忠心，我要委任你统管很多的事。进来分享你主人的快乐吧！’
24 “接着，那领了一千两银子的也上前来，说：‘主啊，我知道你是个严厉的人，不是你播种的地方，你收获；不是你投放的地方，你收集。 25 我惧怕，就去把你的银子藏在地里。请看，你的银子在这里。’
26 “主人回答他，说：‘你这又恶又懒的奴仆！你既然知道：不是我播种的地方，我收获；不是我投放的地方，我收集， 27 你就应该把我的银子存到钱庄里，这样我回来的时候，可以连本带利得回来。
28 “所以，你们把那一千两银子从他那里拿走，给那个有一万两的； 29 因为凡是有的，还要赐给他，使他丰足有余；那没有的，连他有的也将从他那里被拿走。 30 把这个无用的奴仆丢到外面的黑暗里去！在那里将有哀哭和切齿。’
绵羊与山羊
31 “当人子在他的荣耀中，与所有的[g]天使一起来临的时候，他那时就要坐在他荣耀的宝座上。 32 万民都将被召集到他面前。他要把他们互相分别，就像牧人把绵羊从山羊中分别出来那样， 33 把绵羊放在他的右边，山羊放在左边。 34 那时王要对在他右边的人说：‘来吧，蒙我父所祝福的人哪，来继承创世以来已经为你们所预备好的国度吧！
35 因为我饿了，
你们给我吃；
我渴了，
你们给我喝；
我在异乡时，
你们收留了我；
36 我衣不蔽体，你们给我穿；
我患了病，你们照顾我；
我在监狱里，你们探望我。’
37 “那时义人将回答说：‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了就给你吃，见你渴了就给你喝呢？ 38 我们什么时候见你在异乡就收留了你，见你衣不蔽体就给你穿呢？ 39 又什么时候见你患病或在监狱里，就到你那里去呢？’
40 “王要回答他们，说：‘我确实地告诉你们：你们为我这些弟兄中最小的一个所做的事，就是为我做了。’ 41 那时王要对在左边的人说：‘你们这些被诅咒的人！离开我！进到那已经为魔鬼和他的使者们所预备好的永远的火里去！
42 因为我饿了，
你们没有给我吃；
我渴了，
你们没有给我喝；
43 我在异乡时，
你们没有收留我；
我衣不蔽体，
你们没有给我穿；
我患了病、在监狱里，
你们没有照顾我。’
44 “那时他们也要回答说：‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，或渴了，或在异乡，或衣不蔽体，或患了病，或在监狱里，而没有服事你呢？’
45 “那时王要回答他们，说：‘我确实地告诉你们：你们没有为我这些弟兄中最小的一个所做的事，也就是没有为我做。’
46 “结果这些人将离去，进入永远的刑罚。然而，义人将进入永恒的生命。”

Parabole des dix jeunes filles
25 »Alors le royaume des cieux ressemblera à dix jeunes filles qui ont pris leurs lampes pour aller à la rencontre du marié. 2 Cinq d'entre elles étaient folles et cinq étaient sages. 3 Celles qui étaient folles ne prirent pas d'huile avec elles en emportant leurs lampes, 4 tandis que les sages prirent, avec leurs lampes, de l'huile dans des vases. 5 Comme le marié tardait, toutes s'assoupirent et s'endormirent. 6 Au milieu de la nuit, on cria: ‘Voici le marié, allez à sa rencontre!’ 7 Alors toutes ces jeunes filles se réveillèrent et préparèrent leurs lampes. 8 Les folles dirent aux sages: ‘Donnez-nous de votre huile, car nos lampes s'éteignent.’ 9 Les sages répondirent: ‘Non, il n'y en aurait pas assez pour nous et pour vous. Allez plutôt chez ceux qui en vendent et achetez-en pour vous.’ 10 Pendant qu'elles allaient en acheter, le marié arriva. Celles qui étaient prêtes entrèrent avec lui dans la salle des noces et la porte fut fermée. 11 Plus tard, les autres jeunes filles vinrent et dirent: ‘Seigneur, Seigneur, ouvre-nous!’ 12 mais il répondit: ‘Je vous le dis en vérité, je ne vous connais pas.’ 13 Restez donc vigilants, puisque vous ne savez ni le jour ni l'heure [où le Fils de l'homme viendra].
Parabole des serviteurs et des récompenses
14 »Ce sera en effet pareil au cas d'un homme qui, partant pour un voyage, appela ses serviteurs et leur remit ses biens. 15 Il donna cinq sacs d’argent à l'un, deux à l'autre et un au troisième, à chacun selon sa capacité, puis il partit aussitôt. 16 Celui qui avait reçu les cinq sacs d’argent s'en alla travailler avec eux et gagna cinq autres sacs d’argent. 17 De même, celui qui avait reçu les deux sacs d’argent en gagna deux autres. 18 Celui qui n'en avait reçu qu'un alla creuser un trou dans la terre et cacha l'argent de son maître. 19 Longtemps après, le maître de ces serviteurs revint et leur fit rendre des comptes. 20 Celui qui avait reçu les cinq sacs d’argent s'approcha, en apporta cinq autres et dit: ‘Seigneur, tu m'as remis cinq sacs d’argent. En voici cinq autres que j'ai gagnés.’ 21 Son maître lui dit: ‘C'est bien, bon et fidèle serviteur; tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, je te confierai beaucoup. Viens partager la joie de ton maître.’ 22 Celui qui avait reçu les deux sacs d’argent s'approcha aussi et dit: ‘Seigneur, tu m'as remis deux sacs d’argent. En voici deux autres que j'ai gagnés.’ 23 Son maître lui dit: ‘C'est bien, bon et fidèle serviteur; tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, je te confierai beaucoup. Viens partager la joie de ton maître.’ 24 Celui qui n'avait reçu qu'un sac d’argent s'approcha ensuite et dit: ‘Seigneur, je savais que tu es un homme dur: tu moissonnes où tu n'as pas semé et tu récoltes où tu n'as pas planté. 25 J'ai eu peur et je suis allé cacher ton sac d’argent dans la terre. Le voici, prends ce qui est à toi.’ 26 Son maître lui répondit: ‘Serviteur mauvais et paresseux, tu savais que je moissonne où je n'ai pas semé et que je récolte où je n'ai pas planté. 27 Il te fallait donc remettre mon argent aux banquiers et à mon retour j'aurais retiré ce qui est à moi avec un intérêt. 28 Prenez-lui donc le sac d’argent et donnez-le à celui qui a les dix sacs d’argent. 29 En effet, on donnera à celui qui a et il sera dans l'abondance, mais à celui qui n'a pas on enlèvera même ce qu'il a. 30 Quant au serviteur inutile, jetez-le dans les ténèbres extérieures: c’est là qu’il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.’
Jugement des nations
31 »Lorsque le Fils de l'homme viendra dans sa gloire avec tous les [saints] anges, il s'assiéra sur son trône de gloire. 32 Toutes les nations seront rassemblées devant lui. Il séparera les uns des autres, comme le berger sépare les brebis des boucs; 33 il mettra les brebis à sa droite et les boucs à sa gauche. 34 Alors le roi dira à ceux qui seront à sa droite: ‘Venez, vous qui êtes bénis par mon Père, prenez possession du royaume qui vous a été préparé dès la création du monde! 35 En effet, j'ai eu faim et vous m'avez donné à manger; j'ai eu soif et vous m'avez donné à boire; j'étais étranger et vous m'avez accueilli; 36 j'étais nu et vous m'avez habillé; j'étais malade et vous m'avez rendu visite; j'étais en prison et vous êtes venus vers moi.’ 37 Les justes lui répondront: ‘Seigneur, quand t'avons-nous vu affamé et t'avons-nous donné à manger, ou assoiffé et t'avons-nous donné à boire? 38 Quand t'avons-nous vu étranger et t'avons-nous accueilli, ou nu et t'avons-nous habillé? 39 Quand t'avons-nous vu malade ou en prison et sommes-nous allés vers toi?’ 40 Et le roi leur répondra: ‘Je vous le dis en vérité, toutes les fois que vous avez fait cela à l'un de ces plus petits de mes frères, c'est à moi que vous l'avez fait.’ 41 Ensuite il dira à ceux qui seront à sa gauche: ‘Eloignez-vous de moi, maudits, allez dans le feu éternel qui a été préparé pour le diable et pour ses anges! 42 En effet, j'ai eu faim et vous ne m'avez pas donné à manger; j'ai eu soif et vous ne m'avez pas donné à boire; 43 j'étais étranger et vous ne m'avez pas accueilli; j'étais nu et vous ne m'avez pas habillé; j'étais malade et en prison et vous ne m'avez pas rendu visite.’ 44 Ils répondront aussi: ‘Seigneur, quand t'avons-nous vu affamé, ou assoiffé, ou étranger, ou nu, ou malade ou en prison et ne t'avons-nous pas servi?’ 45 Et il leur répondra: ‘Je vous le dis en vérité, toutes les fois que vous n'avez pas fait cela à l'un de ces plus petits, c'est à moi que vous ne l'avez pas fait.’ 46 Et ils iront à la peine éternelle, tandis que les justes iront à la vie éternelle.»

A Story About Ten Bridesmaids
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten ·bridesmaids [L virgins] who took their lamps and went to ·wait for [meet] the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were ·wise [sensible; prudent]. 3 The five foolish ·bridesmaids [L virgins] took their lamps, but they did not take more oil for the lamps to burn. 4 The ·wise [sensible; prudent] ·bridesmaids [L virgins] took their lamps and more oil in ·jars [flasks]. 5 Because the bridegroom was ·late [delayed], they became ·sleepy [drowsy] and went to sleep.
6 “At midnight someone cried out, ‘·The bridegroom is coming [L Look, the bridegroom]! Come and meet him!’ 7 Then all the ·bridesmaids [L virgins] woke up and ·got their lamps ready [trimmed their lamps]. 8 But the foolish ones said to the ·wise [sensible; prudent], ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ 9 The ·wise [sensible; prudent] bridesmaids answered, ‘No, the oil we have might not be enough ·for all of us [L for us and for you]. Go to the people who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “So while ·the five foolish bridesmaids [L they] went to buy oil, the bridegroom came. The bridesmaids who were ready went in with the bridegroom to the wedding feast. Then the door was ·closed and locked [L shut].
11 “Later the others came back and said, ‘·Sir, sir, [Lord, lord] open the door to let us in.’ 12 But the bridegroom answered, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’
13 “So ·always be ready [stay awake; be alert; keep watch], because you don’t know the day or the hour [C the Son of Man will come].
A Story About Three Servants(A)
14 “·The kingdom of heaven [L It] is like a man who was going ·to another place for a visit [on a journey/trip]. Before he left, he called for his servants and ·told them to take care of his things while he was gone [L entrusted his possessions/wealth to them]. 15 He gave one servant five ·bags of gold [L talents; C a talent was worth about 6,000 denarii, or twenty years’ wages for a laborer], another servant two ·bags of gold [L talents], and a third servant one ·bag of gold [L talent], to each one ·as much as he could handle [L according to his ability]. Then he left. 16 The servant who got five ·bags [L talents] went quickly ·to invest the money [and traded with them; and put the money to work] and ·earned [gained] five more. 17 In the same way, the servant who had two ·invested [traded with] them and ·earned [gained] two more. 18 But the servant who got one went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master came home and ·asked the servants what they did with his money [settled/went over the accounts with them]. 20 The servant who was given five ·bags of gold [L talents] brought five more ·bags [L talents] to the master and said, ‘Master, you trusted me to care for five ·bags of gold [L talents], ·so I used your five to earn [L see, I have earned] five more.’ 21 The master answered, ‘You did well. You are a good and ·loyal [faithful] servant. Because you were ·loyal [faithful] with ·small [a few] things, I will ·let you care for [put you in charge of] ·much greater [many] things. ·Come and share my joy with me [L Enter into the joy of your master].’
22 “Then the servant who had been given two ·bags of gold [L talents] came to the master and said, ‘Master, you ·gave me [trusted me with] two ·bags of gold [L talents] to care for, ·so I used your two bags to earn [L see, I have earned] two more.’ 23 The master answered, ‘You did well. You are a good and ·loyal [faithful] servant. Because you were ·loyal [faithful] with ·small [a few] things, I will ·let you care for [put you in charge of] ·much greater [many] things. ·Come and share my joy with me [L Enter into the joy of your master].’
24 “Then the servant who had been given one ·bag of gold [L talent] came to the master and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a ·hard [harsh; exacting; demanding] man. You ·harvest things [reap where] you did not ·plant [sow]. You gather crops where you did not sow any seed. 25 So I was afraid and went and hid your ·money [T talent] in the ground. [L See] Here is ·your bag of gold [L what is yours].’ 26 [L But] The master answered, ‘You are a wicked and lazy servant! You say you knew that I ·harvest things [reap where] I did not ·plant [sow] and that I gather crops where I did not sow any seed. 27 So you should have put my ·gold [money] in the bank. Then, when I came home, I would have received ·my gold [what was mine] back with interest.’
28 “·So the master told his other servants, ‘[L Therefore,] Take the ·bag of gold [L talent] from that servant and give it to the servant who has ten ·bags of gold [L talents]. 29 [L For] Those who have much will ·get [be given] more, and they will have ·much more than they need [an abundance]. But those who do not have much will have ·everything [even what they have] taken away from them.’ 30 Then the master said, ‘Throw that ·useless [worthless] servant ·outside, into the darkness [or into the outer darkness,] where ·people will cry and grind their teeth with pain [T there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; C indicating agony and remorse].
The King Will Judge All People
31 “The Son of Man will come again in his great glory [Dan. 7:13–14], with all his angels. He will ·be King and sit on his [L sit on his] ·great [glorious] throne. 32 All the nations of the world will be gathered before him, and he will separate them ·into two groups [L one from another] as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 The Son of Man will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, ·my Father has given you his blessing [L those blessed by my Father]. ·Receive [Inherit] the kingdom God has prepared for you ·since the world was made [L from the creation/foundation of the world]. 35 [L For; Because] I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was ·alone and away from home [a stranger], and you ·invited me into your house [welcomed/received me]. 36 I was ·without clothes [naked], and you ·gave me something to wear [clothed me]. I was sick, and you ·cared for [visited; looked after] me. I was in prison, and you ·visited [came to] me.’
37 “Then the ·good [righteous] people will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you ·alone and away from home [a stranger] and ·invite you into our house [welcome/receive you]? When did we see you ·without clothes [naked] and ·give you something to wear [clothe you]? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and ·care for [come to] you?’
40 “Then the King will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my ·people here [L brothers (and sisters)], you also did for me.’
41 “Then the King will say to those on his left, ‘·Go away [Depart] from me. You ·will be punished [are cursed]. Go into the ·fire that burns forever [eternal fire] that was prepared for the devil and his angels [C the demons]. 42 [L For; Because] I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was ·alone and away from home [a stranger], and you did not ·invite me into your house [welcome/receive me]. I was ·without clothes [naked], and you ·gave me nothing to wear [did not clothe me]. I was sick and in prison, and you did not ·care for [visit; look after] me.’
44 “Then those people will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or ·alone and away from home [a stranger] or ·without clothes [naked] or sick or in prison? When did we see these things and not ·help [serve; care for] you?’
45 “Then the King will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, ·anything [to the extent] you refused to do for even the least of ·my people here [L these], you refused to do for me.’
46 “These people will go off to ·be punished forever [eternal punishment], but the ·good people [righteous] ·will go to live forever [to eternal life].”

十童女的比喻
25 “那时，天国好比十个童女拿着灯出去迎接新郎。 2 其中有五个是愚拙的，五个是聪明的。 3 愚拙的拿着灯，却不预备油； 4 聪明的拿着灯，又预备油在器皿里。 5 新郎迟延的时候，她们都打盹睡着了。 6 半夜有人喊着说：‘新郎来了，你们出来迎接他！’ 7 那些童女就都起来收拾灯。 8 愚拙的对聪明的说：‘请分点油给我们，因为我们的灯要灭了。’ 9 聪明的回答说：‘恐怕不够你我用的，不如你们自己到卖油的那里去买吧。’ 10 她们去买的时候，新郎到了，那预备好了的同他进去坐席，门就关了。 11 其余的童女随后也来了，说：‘主啊，主啊，给我们开门！’ 12 他却回答说：‘我实在告诉你们：我不认识你们。’ 13 所以，你们要警醒，因为那日子、那时辰，你们不知道。
按才干受责任
14 “天国又好比一个人要往外国去，就叫了仆人来，把他的家业交给他们， 15 按着各人的才干给他们银子，一个给了五千，一个给了二千，一个给了一千，就往外国去了。 16 那领五千的随即拿去做买卖，另外赚了五千。 17 那领二千的也照样另赚了二千。 18 但那领一千的去掘开地，把主人的银子埋藏了。 19 过了许久，那些仆人的主人来了，和他们算账。 20 那领五千银子的又带着那另外的五千来，说：‘主啊，你交给我五千银子，请看，我又赚了五千。’ 21 主人说：‘好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理。可以进来享受你主人的快乐！’ 22 那领二千的也来，说：‘主啊，你交给我二千银子，请看，我又赚了二千。’ 23 主人说：‘好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理。可以进来享受你主人的快乐！’ 24 那领一千的也来，说：‘主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛。 25 我就害怕，去把你的一千银子埋藏在地里。请看，你的原银子在这里。’ 26 主人回答说：‘你这又恶又懒的仆人！你既知道我没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛， 27 就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人，到我来的时候，可以连本带利收回。 28 夺过他这一千来，给那有一万的！ 29 因为凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；没有的，连他所有的也要夺过来。 30 把这无用的仆人丢在外面黑暗里，在那里必要哀哭切齿了。’
论审判的日子
31 “当人子在他荣耀里同着众天使降临的时候，要坐在他荣耀的宝座上。 32 万民都要聚集在他面前，他要把他们分别出来，好像牧羊的分别绵羊山羊一般： 33 把绵羊安置在右边，山羊在左边。 34 于是，王要向那右边的说：‘你们这蒙我父赐福的，可来承受那创世以来为你们所预备的国。 35 因为我饿了，你们给我吃；渴了，你们给我喝；我做客旅，你们留我住； 36 我赤身露体，你们给我穿；我病了，你们看顾我；我在监里，你们来看我。’ 37 义人就回答说：‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了给你吃，渴了给你喝？ 38 什么时候见你做客旅留你住，或是赤身露体给你穿？ 39 又什么时候见你病了或是在监里，来看你呢？’ 40 王要回答说：‘我实在告诉你们：这些事你们既做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。’ 41 王又要向那左边的说：‘你们这被咒诅的人，离开我，进入那为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去！ 42 因为我饿了，你们不给我吃；渴了，你们不给我喝； 43 我做客旅，你们不留我住；我赤身露体，你们不给我穿；我病了，我在监里，你们不来看顾我。’ 44 他们也要回答说：‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，或渴了，或做客旅，或赤身露体，或病了，或在监里，不伺候你呢？’ 45 王要回答说：‘我实在告诉你们：这些事你们既不做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是不做在我身上了。’ 46 这些人要往永刑里去，那些义人要往永生里去。”

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)
