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。”

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。”

A Story About Ten Girls
25 “At that time God’s kingdom will be like ten girls who went to wait for the bridegroom. They took their lamps with them. 2 Five of the girls were foolish, and five were wise. 3 The foolish girls took their lamps with them, but they did not take extra oil for the lamps. 4 The wise girls took their lamps and more oil in jars. 5 When the bridegroom was very late, the girls could not keep their eyes open, and they all fell asleep.
6 “At midnight someone announced, ‘The bridegroom is coming! Come and meet him!’
7 “Then all the girls woke up. They made their lamps ready. 8 But the foolish girls said to the wise girls, ‘Give us some of your oil. The oil in our lamps is all gone.’
9 “The wise girls answered, ‘No! The oil we have might not be enough for all of us. But go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “So the foolish girls went to buy oil. While they were gone, the bridegroom came. The girls who were ready went in with the bridegroom to the wedding feast. Then the door was closed and locked.
11 “Later, the other girls came. They said, ‘Sir, sir! Open the door to let us in.’
12 “But the bridegroom answered, ‘Certainly not! I don’t even know you.’
13 “So always be ready. You don’t know the day or the time when the Son of Man will come.
A Story About Three Servants(A)
14 “At that time God’s kingdom will also be like a man leaving home to travel to another place for a visit. Before he left, he talked with his servants. He told his servants to take care of his things while he was gone. 15 He decided how much each servant would be able to care for. The man gave one servant five bags of money.[a] He gave another servant two bags. And he gave a third servant one bag. Then he left. 16 The servant who got five bags went quickly to invest the money. Those five bags of money earned five more. 17 It was the same with the servant who had two bags. That servant invested the money and earned two more. 18 But the servant who got one bag of money went away and dug a hole in the ground. Then he hid his master’s money in the hole.
19 “After a long time the master came home. He asked the servants what they did with his money. 20 The servant who got five bags brought that amount and five more bags of money to the master. The servant said, ‘Master, you trusted me to care for five bags of money. So I used them to earn five more.’
21 “The master answered, ‘You did right. You are a good servant who can be trusted. You did well with that small amount of money. So I will let you care for much greater things. Come and share my happiness with me.’
22 “Then the servant who got two bags of money came to the master. The servant said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of money to care for. So I used your two bags to earn two more.’
23 “The master answered, ‘You did right. You are a good servant who can be trusted. You did well with a small amount of money. So I will let you care for much greater things. Come and share my happiness with me.’
24 “Then the servant who got one bag of money came to the master. The servant said, ‘Master, I knew you were a very hard man. You harvest what you did not plant. You gather crops where you did not put any seed. 25 So I was afraid. I went and hid your money in the ground. Here is the one bag of money you gave me.’
26 “The master answered, ‘You are a bad and lazy servant! You say you knew that I harvest what I did not plant and that I gather crops where I did not put any seed. 27 So you should have put my money in the bank. Then, when I came home, I would get my money back. And I would also get the interest that my money earned.’
28 “So the master told his other servants, ‘Take the one bag of money from that servant and give it to the servant who has ten bags. 29 Everyone who uses what they have will get more. They will have much more than they need. But people who do not use what they have will have everything taken away from them.’ 30 Then the master said, ‘Throw that useless servant outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.’
The Son of Man Will Judge All People
31 “The Son of Man will come again with divine greatness, and all his angels will come with him. He will sit as king on his great and glorious throne. 32 All the people of the world will be gathered before him. Then he will separate everyone into two groups. It will be like a shepherd separating his sheep from his goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the king will say to the godly people on his right, ‘Come, my Father has great blessings for you. The kingdom he promised is now yours. It has been prepared for you since the world was made. 35 It is yours because when I was hungry, you gave me food to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I had no place to stay, you welcomed me into your home. 36 When I was without clothes, you gave me something to wear. When I was sick, you cared for me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the godly people will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you with no place to stay and welcome you into our home? When did we see you without clothes and give you something to wear? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and care for you?’
40 “Then the king will answer, ‘The truth is, anything you did for any of my people here,[b] you also did for me.’
41 “Then the king will say to the evil people on his left, ‘Get away from me. God has already decided that you will be punished. Go into the fire that burns forever—the fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 You must go away because when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink. 43 When I had no place to stay, you did not welcome me into your home. When I was without clothes, you gave me nothing to wear. When I was sick and in prison, you did not care for me.’
44 “Then those people will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty? When did we see you without a place to stay? Or when did we see you without clothes or sick or in prison? When did we see any of this and not help you?’
45 “The king will answer, ‘The truth is, anything you refused to do for any of my people here, you refused to do for me.’
46 “Then these evil people will go away to be punished forever. But the godly people will go and enjoy eternal life.”
