Ang Salita ng Diyos
Ang Talinghaga Patungkol sa Sampung Dalaga
25 Ang paghahari ng mga langit ay katulad sa sampung dalagang birhen. Pagkakuha nila ng kanilang mga ilawan, sila ay lumabas upang salubungin ang lalaking ikakasal.
2 Ang lima sa kanila ay matalino at ang lima ay mangmang. 3 Ito ay sapagkat sila na mga mangmang, pagkakuha ng kanilang mga ilawan, ay hindi nagdala ng langis. 4 Ang mga matalino ay nagdala ng langis sa kanilang lalagyan kasama ng kanilang mga ilawan. 5 Ngunit natagalan ang lalaking ikakasal. Silang lahat ay inantok at nakatulog.
6 Ngunit mayroong sumigaw sa kalagitnaan na ng gabi. Kaniyang sinabi: Narito, dumarating na ang lalaking ikakasal! Lumabas kayo at salubungin siya.
7 Bumangon ang lahat ng mga dalagang birhen at inihanda ang kanilang mga ilawan. 8 Sinabi ng mga mangmang na mga birhen sa mga matalino: Bigyan ninyo kami ng mga langis sapagkat mamamatay na ang aming ilawan.
9 Sumagot ang matatalinong birhen: Hindi maaari. Baka hindi ito maging sapat para sa inyo at sa amin. Pumunta na lang kayo roon sa mga nagtitinda at bumili kayo para sa inyong sarili.
10 Ngunit nang sila ay umalis upang bumili, ang lalaking ikakasal ay dumating. Silang mga nakahanda ay pumasok na kasama ang lalaking ikakasal sa piging ng kasalan at ang pinto ay isinara.
11 Maya-maya ay dumating ang ibang mga dalagang birhen. Sinabi nila: Panginoon, Panginoon, pagbuksan mo kami.
12 Ngunit sumagot siya: Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Hindi ko kayo nakikilala.
13 Magbantay nga kayo sapagkat hindi ninyo alam ang araw ni ang oras ng pagdating ng Anak ng Tao.
Ang Talinghaga Patungkol sa Talento
14 Ito ay katulad din sa isang lalaking papaalis ng bansa. Tinawag niya ang kaniyang mga alipin at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang kaniyang mga ari-arian.
15 Ibinigay niya sa isang alipin ang limang talento, sa isa pang alipin ay dalawang talento at sa isa pang alipin ay isang talento. Binigyan niya ang bawat isa ayon sa kani-kaniyang kakayanan. Siya ay umalis agad ng bansa. 16 Siya na nakatanggap ng limang talento ay nangalakal at tumubo ng lima pang talento. 17 Gayundin ang nakatanggap ng dalawang talento, siya ay tumubo ng dalawa pa. 18 Ngunit siya na nakatanggap ng isang talento ay umalis. Siya ay naghukay sa lupa at itinago ang salapi ng kaniyang panginoon.
19 Pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon, dumating ang Panginoon ng mga aliping iyon at sila ay nagbigay-sulit sa kaniya. 20 Dumating ang nakatanggap ng limang talento at nagdala siya ng lima pang talento. Sinabi niya: Panginoon, ipinagkatiwala mo sa akin ang limang talento. Narito, bukod dito ay tumubo pa ako ng lima.
21 Sinabi ng kaniyang panginoon sa kaniya: Magaling ang iyong ginawa. Ikaw ay mabuti at tapat na alipin. Naging tapat ka sa kakaunting bagay. Pamamahalain kita sa maraming mga bagay. Pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
22 Dumating din ang nakatanggap ng dalawang talento. Sinabi niya: Ipinagkatiwala mo sa akin ang dalawang talento. Tingnan mo, bukod dito ay tumubo pa ako ng dalawa.
23 Sinabi ng kaniyang panginoon sa kaniya: Magaling ang iyong ginawa. Ikaw ay mabuti at tapat na alipin. Naging tapat ka sa kakaunting bagay. Pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay. Pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
24 Dumating din ang nakatanggap ng isang talento. Sinabi niya: Panginoon, kilala kita na ikaw ay isang malupit na tao. Umaani ka sa hindi mo inihasik at nagtitipon sa hindi mo ikinalat. 25 Dahil sa takot, ako ay umalis at itinago ang iyong talento sa lupa. Narito ang para sa iyo.
26 Sumagot ang kaniyang panginoon: Ikaw ay masama at tamad na alipin! Nalalaman mo na ako ay umaani sa hindi ko inihasik at nagtitipon sa hindi ko ikinalat. 27 Nararapat sana na inilagay mo ang aking salapi sa mga mamamalit ng salapi.At sa aking pagdating ay tatanggapin ko ang aking salapi na may tubo.
28 Kunin nga sa kaniya ang talento at ibigay sa kaniya na may sampung talento. 29 Ito ay sapagkat ang bawat mayroon ay bibigyan at siya ay tatanggap ng sagana.Ngunit sa kaniya na wala, maging ang nasa kaniya ay kukunin sa kaniya. 30 Ang walang silbing alipin ay itatapon sa kadiliman sa labas. Doon ay may pananangis at pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.
Ang mga Tupa at ang mga Kambing
31 Darating ang Anak ng Tao sa kaniyang kaluwalhatian kasama ng mga banal na anghel. Kapag siya ay dumating, siya ay uupo sa trono ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian.
32 Titipunin niya ang lahat ng mga bansa sa kaniyang harapan. Ihihiwalay niya sila sa isa’t isa katulad ng paghihiwalay ng pastol sa mga tupa mula sa mga kambing. 33 Itatalaga niya ang mga tupa sa kaniyang kanang kamay, ngunit ang mga kambing ay sa kaniyang kaliwa.
34 Pagkatapos ay sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kaniyang kanang kamay: Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama. Manahin ninyo ang paghaharing inihanda sa inyo mula pa nang itatag ang sanlibutan. 35 Ito ay sapagkat nagutom ako at binigyan ninyo ako ng makakain. Nauhaw ako at binigyan ninyo ako ng maiiinom. Ako ay naging taga-ibang bayan at ako ay inyong pinatuloy. 36 Ako ay naging hubad at dinamitan ninyo. Nagkasakit ako at ako ay inyong dinalaw. Nabilanggo ako at ako ay inyong pinuntahan.
37 Sasagot naman ang mga matuwid sa kaniya: Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom at pinakain ka namin o nauhaw at binigyan ng maiinom? 38 Kailan ka namin nakitang naging taga-ibang bayan at pinatuloy ka o naging hubad at dinamitan ka namin? 39 Kailan ka namin nakitang nagkasakit o nabilanggo at dumalaw kami sa iyo?
40 Sasagot ang hari sa kanila: Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Anuman ang ginawa ninyo sa isa sa pinakamaliit na kapatid ko, ginawa ninyo ito sa akin.
41 Sasabihin din niya roon sa mga nasa kaliwa: Lumayo kayo sa akin, mga isinumpa. Doon kayo sa apoy na walang hanggan na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kaniyang mga anghel. 42 Ito ay sapagkat nagutom ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng makakain. Nauhaw ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng maiinom. 43 Ako ay naging taga-ibang bayan ngunit hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy. Ako ay naging hubad ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinamitan. Nagkasakit ako at nabilanggo ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinalaw.
44 Sasagot din sila sa kaniya: Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom, o nauhaw, o naging taga-ibang bayan, o naging hubad o nabilanggo at hindi kami naglingkod sa iyo?
45 Siya ay sasagot sa kanila na sinasabi: Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Anuman ang hindi ninyo ginawa para sa isa sa mga pinakamaliit na ito, hindi rin ninyo ito ginawa sa akin.
46 Ang mga ito ay pupunta sa kaparusahang walang hanggan. Ngunit ang mga matuwid ay sa buhay na walang hanggan.

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Sampung Birhen
25 “Ang(A) kaharian ng langit ay maihahambing sa sampung birhen na kumuha ng kanilang mga ilawan at lumabas upang salubungin ang lalaking ikakasal.
2 Ang lima sa kanila'y mga hangal at ang lima'y matatalino.
3 Sapagkat nang kunin ng mga hangal ang kanilang mga ilawan, ay hindi sila nagdala ng langis.
4 Ngunit ang matatalino ay nagdala ng langis sa mga lalagyan na kasama ng kanilang mga ilawan.
5 Samantalang naaantala pa ang lalaking ikakasal ay inantok silang lahat at nakatulog.
6 Subalit nang hatinggabi na ay may sumigaw, ‘Narito na ang lalaking ikakasal! Lumabas kayo upang salubungin siya.’
7 Bumangon lahat ang mga birheng iyon at iniayos ang kanilang mga ilawan.
8 At sinabi ng mga hangal sa matatalino, ‘Bigyan ninyo kami ng inyong langis, sapagkat namamatay na ang aming mga ilawan.’
9 Ngunit sumagot ang matatalino na nagsasabi, ‘Maaaring hindi sapat para sa amin at para sa inyo. Kaya't pumunta kayo sa mga nagtitinda at bumili kayo ng para sa inyo.’
10 At habang pumupunta sila upang bumili, dumating ang lalaking ikakasal. Ang mga nakapaghanda ay pumasok na kasama niya sa piging ng kasalan; at isinara ang pintuan.
11 Pagkatapos(B) ay dumating naman ang ibang mga birhen, na nagsasabi, ‘Panginoon, Panginoon, pagbuksan mo kami.’
12 Ngunit sumagot siya at sinabi, ‘Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi ko kayo nakikilala.’
13 Kaya maging handa kayo, sapagkat hindi ninyo nalalaman ang araw o ang oras.
Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa mga Talento(C)
14 “Sapagkat(D) tulad sa isang tao na maglalakbay, tinawag niya ang kanyang sariling mga alipin, at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang kanyang mga ari-arian.
15 Ang isa ay binigyan niya ng limang talento,[a] ang isa ay dalawa, at ang isa ay isa; sa bawat isa'y ayon sa kanyang kakayahan. Pagkatapos ay humayo na siya sa paglalakbay.
16 Ang tumanggap ng limang talento ay umalis kaagad at ipinangalakal niya ang mga iyon, at nakinabang siya ng lima pang talento.
17 Gayundin, ang tumanggap ng dalawa ay nakinabang pa ng dalawa.
18 Subalit ang tumanggap ng isa ay umalis at humukay sa lupa, at itinago ang salapi ng kanyang panginoon.
19 Pagkalipas ng mahabang panahon, dumating ang panginoon ng mga aliping iyon, at nakipag-ayos sa kanila.
20 Ang tumanggap ng limang talento ay lumapit at nagdala ng lima pang talento, na nagsasabi, ‘Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng limang talento. Heto, ako'y nakinabang ng lima pang talento.’
21 Sinabi sa kanya ng panginoon niya, ‘Magaling! Mabuti at tapat na alipin. Naging tapat ka sa kaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay. Pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.’
22 At lumapit din ang tumanggap ng dalawang talento at sinabi niya, ‘Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng dalawang talento. Heto, ako'y nakinabang ng dalawa pang talento.’
23 Sinabi sa kanya ng panginoon niya, ‘Magaling! Mabuti at tapat na alipin. Naging tapat ka sa kaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay. Pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.’
24 At lumapit din ang tumanggap ng isang talento at sinabi niya, ‘Panginoon, alam kong ikaw ay taong malupit, na gumagapas ka roon sa hindi mo hinasikan, at nagtitipon ka roon sa hindi mo kinalatan ng binhi.
25 Kaya ako'y natakot at ako'y umalis at itinago ko sa lupa ang talento mo. Heto, iyo na ang sa iyo.’
26 Ngunit sumagot ang kanyang panginoon at sinabi sa kanya, ‘Ikaw na masama at tamad na alipin! Alam mo palang ako'y gumagapas sa hindi ko hinasikan, at nagtitipon sa hindi ko kinalatan ng binhi.
27 Dapat sana'y inilagak mo ang aking salapi sa mga mangangalakal ng salapi, at nang sa aking pagdating ay matanggap ko kung ano ang akin pati na ang pakinabang.
28 Kaya't kunin ninyo sa kanya ang talento, at ibigay ninyo sa kanya na may sampung talento.
29 Sapagkat(E) ang bawat mayroon ay bibigyan at siya'y magkakaroon ng kasaganaan, ngunit ang wala, pati ang nasa kanya ay kukunin.
30 At(F) ang aliping walang pakinabang ay itapon ninyo sa kadiliman sa labas. Doon ay magkakaroon ng pagtangis at pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.’
Ang Paghuhukom sa mga Bansa
31 “Kapag(G) dumating na ang Anak ng Tao na nasa kanyang kaluwalhatian, na kasama niya ang lahat ng mga anghel, siya'y uupo sa trono ng kanyang kaluwalhatian.
32 At titipunin sa harapan niya ang lahat ng mga bansa at kanyang pagbubukud-bukurin ang mga tao[b] na gaya ng pagbubukud-bukod ng pastol sa mga tupa at sa mga kambing,
33 at ilalagay niya ang mga tupa sa kanyang kanan, subalit ang mga kambing ay sa kaliwa.
34 Pagkatapos ay sasabihin ng Hari sa mga nasa kanyang kanan, ‘Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama, manahin ninyo ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula sa pagkatatag ng sanlibutan.
35 Sapagkat ako'y nagutom at binigyan ninyo ako ng pagkain. Ako'y nauhaw, at binigyan ninyo ako ng inumin. Ako'y taga-ibang bayan, at ako'y inyong pinatuloy.
36 Ako'y naging hubad at inyong dinamitan. Ako'y nagkasakit at ako'y inyong dinalaw. Ako'y nabilanggo at ako'y inyong pinuntahan.’
37 Pagkatapos ay sasagutin siya ng mga matuwid, na nagsasabi, ‘Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang gutom, at pinakain ka namin, o uhaw, at binigyan ka ng inumin?
38 Kailan ka namin nakitang isang taga-ibang bayan at pinatuloy ka, o hubad, at dinamitan ka?
39 At kailan ka namin nakitang maysakit, o nasa bilangguan, at dinalaw ka namin?’
40 At sasagot ang Hari at sasabihin sa kanila, ‘Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, yamang ginawa ninyo ito sa isa sa pinakamaliit sa mga kapatid kong ito, ay sa akin ninyo ginawa.’
41 Pagkatapos ay sasabihin niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, ‘Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong mga sinumpa. Doon kayo sa apoy na walang hanggan na inihanda sa diyablo at sa kanyang mga anghel.
42 Sapagkat ako'y nagutom, at hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng pagkain. Ako'y nauhaw, at hindi ninyo binigyan ng inumin.
43 Ako'y taga-ibang bayan, at hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy. Hubad, at hindi ninyo ako dinamitan; maysakit at nasa bilangguan, at hindi ninyo dinalaw.’
44 Pagkatapos ay sasagot din sila, na nagsasabi, ‘Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang gutom, o uhaw, o isang taga-ibang bayan, o hubad, o maysakit, o nasa bilangguan, at hindi ka namin pinaglingkuran?’
45 At sila'y sasagutin niya, na nagsasabi, ‘Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, yamang hindi ninyo ito ginawa sa isa sa pinakamaliliit na ito, ay hindi ninyo ito ginawa sa akin.’
46 At(H) ang mga ito'y mapupunta sa walang hanggang kaparusahan, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay sa buhay na walang hanggan.”

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)

The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids
25 ‘Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids[a] took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.[b] 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a shout, “Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.” 7 Then all those bridesmaids[c] got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.” 9 But the wise replied, “No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.” 10 And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. 11 Later the other bridesmaids[d] came also, saying, “Lord, lord, open to us.” 12 But he replied, “Truly I tell you, I do not know you.” 13 Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.[e]
The Parable of the Talents
14 ‘For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 15 to one he gave five talents,[f] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. 17 In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. 18 But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20 Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, “Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.” 21 His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” 22 And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, “Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.” 23 His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” 24 Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, “Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.” 26 But his master replied, “You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. 29 For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 30 As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
The Judgement of the Nations
31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” 37 Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” 40 And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,[g] you did it to me.” 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” 44 Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” 45 Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

Hoffnung für Alle
Die zehn Brautjungfern (Lukas 12,35‒38; 13,25‒28)
25 »Wenn der Menschensohn kommt, wird es in seinem himmlischen Reich sein wie bei zehn Brautjungfern, die bei einer Hochzeit dem Bräutigam mit ihren Lampen entgegengingen. 2 Fünf von ihnen verhielten sich klug, die anderen waren leichtfertig und dumm. 3-4 Die klugen Mädchen hatten sich nämlich vorher mit ausreichend Öl für ihre Lampen versorgt. Die anderen fünf dachten überhaupt nicht daran, einen Vorrat an Öl mitzunehmen.
5 Als sich die Ankunft des Bräutigams verzögerte, wurden sie alle müde und schliefen ein. 6 Plötzlich um Mitternacht wurden sie mit dem Ruf geweckt: ›Der Bräutigam kommt! Geht und begrüßt ihn!‹
7 Da sprangen die Mädchen auf und bereiteten ihre Lampen vor. 8 Die fünf, die nicht genügend Öl hatten, baten die anderen: ›Gebt uns etwas von eurem Öl! Unsere Lampen gehen aus.‹ 9 Aber die Klugen antworteten: ›Das können wir nicht. Unser Öl reicht gerade für uns selbst. Geht doch zu einem Händler und kauft euch welches!‹
10 Da gingen sie los. In der Zwischenzeit kam der Bräutigam, und die Mädchen, die darauf vorbereitet waren, begleiteten ihn in den Festsaal. Dann wurde die Tür verschlossen. 11 Später kamen auch die fünf anderen. Sie standen draußen und riefen: ›Herr, mach uns doch die Tür auf!‹ 12 Aber er erwiderte: ›Was wollt ihr denn? Ich kenne euch nicht!‹
13 Deshalb seid wachsam und haltet euch bereit! Denn ihr wisst weder an welchem Tag noch zu welchem Zeitpunkt der Menschensohn kommen wird.«
Beauftragt zu handeln (Lukas 19,11‒27)
14 »Es wird dann so sein wie bei einem Mann, der vorhatte, ins Ausland zu reisen. Er rief alle seine Verwalter zusammen und vertraute ihnen sein Vermögen an. Sie sollten während seiner Abwesenheit gut damit wirtschaften. 15 Dem einen gab er fünf Zentner Silberstücke, einem anderen zwei und dem dritten einen Zentner, jedem nach seinen Fähigkeiten. Danach reiste er ab.
16 Der Mann mit den fünf Zentnern Silberstücke machte sich sofort daran, mit dem Geld Geschäfte zu treiben, und konnte so die Summe verdoppeln. 17 Auch der die zwei Zentner bekommen hatte, verdiente zwei hinzu. 18 Der dritte aber vergrub den Zentner, den sein Herr ihm anvertraut hatte, an einem sicheren Ort.
19 Nach langer Zeit kehrte der Herr von seiner Reise zurück und forderte seine Diener auf, mit ihm abzurechnen.
20 Der Mann, der fünf Zentner Silberstücke erhalten hatte, trat vor und übergab ihm zehn Zentner. Er sagte: ›Herr, fünf Zentner hast du mir gegeben. Hier, ich habe fünf dazuverdient.‹ 21 Da lobte ihn sein Herr: ›Gut so, du bist ein tüchtiger und zuverlässiger Verwalter. In kleinen Dingen bist du treu gewesen, darum werde ich dir Großes anvertrauen. Komm zu meinem Fest und freu dich mit mir!‹
22 Danach kam der Mann mit den zwei Zentnern. Er berichtete: ›Herr, ich habe den Betrag, den du mir gegeben hast, verdoppeln können.‹ 23 Da lobte ihn der Herr: ›Gut gemacht, du bist ein tüchtiger und zuverlässiger Verwalter. In kleinen Dingen bist du treu gewesen, darum werde ich dir Großes anvertrauen. Komm zu meinem Fest und freu dich mit mir!‹
24 Schließlich kam der Diener, dem der Herr einen Zentner Silberstücke gegeben hatte, und erklärte: ›Ich kenne dich als strengen Herrn und dachte: Du erntest, was andere gesät haben; du nimmst dir, wofür du nichts getan hast. 25 Aus Angst habe ich dein Geld sicher aufbewahrt. Hier hast du es wieder zurück!‹ 26 Zornig antwortete ihm darauf sein Herr: ›Was bist du nur für ein böser und fauler Verwalter! Wenn du schon der Meinung bist, dass ich ernte, was andere gesät haben, und mir nehme, wofür ich nichts getan habe, 27 hättest du mein Geld wenigstens bei einer Bank anlegen können! Dann hätte ich immerhin noch Zinsen dafür bekommen! 28 Nehmt ihm das Geld weg und gebt es dem, der die zehn Zentner hat!
29 Denn wer viel hat, der bekommt noch mehr dazu, ja, er wird mehr als genug haben! Wer aber nichts hat, dem wird selbst noch das Wenige, das er hat, genommen. 30 Und jetzt werft diesen Nichtsnutz hinaus in die tiefste Finsternis, wo es nur noch Heulen und ohnmächtiges Jammern[a] gibt!‹«
Das Weltgericht
31 »Wenn der Menschensohn in seiner ganzen Herrlichkeit kommt, begleitet von allen Engeln, dann wird er auf seinem Königsthron sitzen. 32 Alle Völker werden vor ihm versammelt werden, und er wird die Menschen in zwei Gruppen teilen, so wie ein Hirte die Schafe von den Ziegen trennt[b]. 33 Die Schafe stellt er rechts von sich auf und die Ziegen links. 34 Dann wird der König zu denen an seiner rechten Seite sagen: ›Kommt her! Euch hat mein Vater gesegnet. Nehmt Gottes Reich in Besitz, das er seit Erschaffung der Welt als Erbe für euch bereithält! 35 Denn als ich hungrig war, habt ihr mir zu essen gegeben. Als ich Durst hatte, bekam ich von euch etwas zu trinken. Ich war ein Fremder bei euch, und ihr habt mich aufgenommen. 36 Ich hatte nichts anzuziehen, und ihr habt mir Kleidung gegeben. Ich war krank, und ihr habt für mich gesorgt. Ich war im Gefängnis, und ihr habt mich besucht.‹
37 Dann werden sie, die nach Gottes Willen gelebt haben, fragen: ›Herr, wann bist du denn hungrig gewesen, und wir haben dir zu essen gegeben? Oder durstig, und wir gaben dir zu trinken? 38 Wann warst du als Fremder bei uns, und wir haben dir Gastfreundschaft gewährt? Und wann hattest du nichts anzuziehen, und wir haben dir Kleider gebracht? 39 Wann warst du denn krank oder im Gefängnis, und wir haben dich besucht?‹
40 Der König wird ihnen dann antworten: ›Das will ich euch sagen: Was ihr für einen meiner geringsten Brüder oder für eine meiner geringsten Schwestern getan habt, das habt ihr für mich getan!‹
41 Dann wird er sich denen an seiner linken Seite zuwenden und sagen: ›Geht mir aus den Augen, ihr Verfluchten, ins ewige Feuer, das für den Teufel und seine Engel bestimmt ist! 42 Denn ich war hungrig, aber ihr habt mir nichts zu essen gegeben. Ich war durstig, aber ihr habt mir nichts zu trinken gegeben. 43 Ich war als Fremder bei euch, aber ihr habt mich nicht aufgenommen. Ich hatte nichts anzuziehen, aber ihr wolltet mir keine Kleider geben. Ich war krank und im Gefängnis, aber ihr habt mich nicht besucht.‹ 44 Dann werden auch sie ihn fragen: ›Herr, wann haben wir dich denn hungrig oder durstig, ohne Unterkunft, ohne Kleidung, krank oder im Gefängnis gesehen und dir nicht geholfen?‹ 45 Darauf wird ihnen der König antworten: ›Ich versichere euch: Die Hilfe, die ihr meinen geringsten Brüdern und Schwestern verweigert habt, die habt ihr mir verweigert.‹ 46 Und sie werden der ewigen Strafe ausgeliefert sein. Aber die Gottes Willen getan haben, erwartet unvergängliches Leben.«
