Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. [a] 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they took no oil with them. 4 But the wise ones took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5 “Now while the bridegroom was taking a long time, they all got drowsy and started falling asleep. 6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 Now the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, since our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise ones replied, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Instead, go to those who sell, and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were going off to buy, the bridegroom came. And those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. 11 Now later, the other virgins came, saying, ‘Sir, Sir, open up for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Amen, I tell you, I do not know you.’ 13 Therefore stay alert, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
Parable of the Talents
14 “For it is like a man about to go on a journey. He called his own servants and handed over his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, and to another one, each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 “Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them and gained five more. 17 In the same way, the one with two gained two more. 18 But the one who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “Now after a long time, the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 The one who had received the five talents came up and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed me five talents. Look, I’ve gained five more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful with a little, so I’ll put you in charge of much. Enter into your master’s joy!’
22 “The one who had received the two talents also came up and said, ‘Master, you handed me two talents. Look, I’ve gained two more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful with a little, so I’ll put you in charge of much. Enter into your master’s joy!’
24 “Then the one who had received the one talent also came up and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. 25 So I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
26 “But his master responded, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you should have brought my money to the brokers, and when I came I would have received it back with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents. 29 For to the one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 30 Throw the worthless servant out, into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”
The Righteous Judge
31 “Now when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. [c] 33 And He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on His left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who 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 something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’[d]
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 And when did we see You a stranger and invite You in? Or naked and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
40 “And answering, the King will say to them, ‘Amen, I tell you, whatever you did to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ [e] 41 Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Go away from Me, you cursed ones, into the everlasting fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. 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; naked and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they too will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not care for You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Amen, I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’ 46 These shall go off to everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.”[f]

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet (A)the bridegroom. 2 (B)Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, (C)they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight (D)a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and (E)trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and (F)the door was shut.
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, (G)‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, (H)I do not know you.’
13 (I)“Watch therefore, for you (J)know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming.
The Parable of the Talents(K)
14 (L)“For the kingdom of heaven is (M)like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, (N)to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were (O)faithful over a few things, (P)I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into (Q)the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, (R)‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into (S)the joy of your lord.’
24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You (T)wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 (U)‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant (V)into the outer darkness. (W)There will be weeping and (X)gnashing of teeth.’
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 (Y)“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 (Z)All the nations will be gathered before Him, and (AA)He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the (AB)sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, (AC)inherit the kingdom (AD)prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 (AE)for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; (AF)I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was (AG)naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; (AH)I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, (AI)inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, (AJ)‘Depart from Me, you cursed, (AK)into the everlasting fire prepared for (AL)the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, (AM)inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And (AN)these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
25 Kung magkagayon ay makakatulad ang kaharian ng langit ng sangpung dalaga, na kinuha ang kanilang mga ilawan, at nagsilabas upang salubungin ang kasintahang lalake.
2 At ang lima sa kanila'y mga mangmang, at ang lima'y matatalino.
3 Sapagka't nang dalhin ng mga mangmang ang kanilang mga ilawan, ay hindi sila nangagdala ng langis:
4 Datapuwa't ang matatalino ay nangagdala ng langis sa kanilang sisidlan na kasama ng kanilang mga ilawan.
5 Samantalang nagtatagal nga ang kasintahang lalake, ay nangagantok silang lahat at nangakatulog.
6 Datapuwa't pagkahating gabi ay may sumigaw, Narito, ang kasintahang lalake! Magsilabas kayo upang salubungin siya.
7 Nang magkagayo'y nagsipagbangong lahat ang mga dalagang yaon, at pinagigi ang kanilang mga ilawan.
8 At sinabi ng mga mangmang sa matatalino, Bigyan ninyo kami ng inyong langis; sapagka't nangamamatay ang aming mga ilawan.
9 Datapuwa't nagsisagot ang matatalino, na nangagsasabi, Baka sakaling hindi magkasiya sa amin at sa inyo: magsiparoon muna kayo sa nangagbibili, at magsibili kayo ng ganang inyo.
10 At samantalang sila'y nagsisiparoon sa pagbili, ay dumating ang kasintahang lalake; at ang mga nahahanda ay nagsipasok na kasama niya sa piging ng kasalan: at inilapat ang pintuan.
11 Pagkatapos ay nagsirating naman ang mga ibang dalaga, na nagsisipagsabi, Panginoon, Panginoon, buksan mo kami.
12 Datapuwa't sumagot siya at sinabi, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Hindi ko kayo nangakikilala.
13 Mangagpuyat nga kayo, sapagka't hindi ninyo nalalaman ang araw ni ang oras.
14 Sapagka't tulad sa isang tao, na nang paroroon sa ibang lupain, ay tinawag ang kaniyang sariling mga alipin, at ipinamahala sa kanila ang kaniyang mga pag-aari.
15 At ang isa'y binigyan niya ng limang talento, ang isa'y dalawa, at ang isa'y isa; sa bawa't isa'y ayon sa kanikaniyang kaya; at siya'y yumaon sa kaniyang paglalakbay.
16 Ang tumanggap ng limang talento pagdaka'y yumaon at ipinangalakal niya ang mga yaon, at siya'y nakinabang ng lima pang talento.
17 Sa gayon ding paraan ang tumanggap ng dalawa ay nakinabang ng ibang dalawa pa.
18 Datapuwa't ang tumanggap ng isa ay yumaon at humukay sa lupa, at itinago ang salapi ng kaniyang panginoon.
19 Pagkatapos nga ng mahabang panahon, ay dumating ang panginoon ng mga aliping yaon, at nakipaghusay sa kanila.
20 At ang tumanggap ng limang talento ay lumapit at nagdala ng lima pang talento, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng limang talento: narito, ako'y nakinabang ng lima pang talento.
21 Sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang panginoon, Mabuting gawa, mabuti at tapat na alipin: nagtapat ka sa kakaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay; pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
22 At lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng dalawang talento at sinabi, Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng dalawang talento: narito, ako'y nakinabang ng dalawa pang talento.
23 Sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang panginoon, Mabuting gawa, mabuti at tapat na alipin: nagtapat ka sa kakaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay; pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
24 At lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng isang talento at sinabi, Panginoon, nakikilala kita na ikaw ay taong mapagmatigas, na gumagapas ka doon sa hindi mo hinasikan, at nagaani ka doon sa hindi mo sinabugan;
25 At ako'y natakot, at ako'y yumaon at aking itinago sa lupa ang talento mo: narito, nasa iyo ang iyong sarili.
26 Datapuwa't sumagot ang kaniyang panginoon at sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw na aliping masama at tamad, nalalaman mong ako'y gumagapas sa hindi ko hinasikan, at nagaani doon sa hindi ko sinabugan;
27 Gayon pala'y ibinigay mo sana ang aking salapi sa nagsisipangalakal ng salapi, at nang sa aking pagdating ay tinanggap ko sana ang ganang akin pati ng pakinabang.
28 Alisin nga ninyo sa kaniya ang talento, at ibigay ninyo sa may sangpung talento.
29 Sapagka't ang bawa't mayroon ay bibigyan, at siya'y magkakaroon ng sagana: nguni't ang wala, pati pa nang nasa kaniya ay aalisin sa kaniya.
30 At ang aliping walang kabuluhan ay inyong itapon sa kadiliman sa labas: diyan na nga ang pagtangis at ang pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.
31 Datapuwa't pagparito ng Anak ng tao na nasa kaniyang kaluwalhatian, na kasama niya ang lahat ng mga anghel, kung magkagayo'y luluklok siya sa luklukan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian:
32 At titipunin sa harap niya ang lahat ng mga bansa: at sila'y pagbubukdinbukdin niya na gaya ng pagbubukodbukod ng pastor sa mga tupa at sa mga kambing;
33 At ilalagay niya ang mga tupa sa kaniyang kanan, datapuwa't sa kaliwa ang mga kambing.
34 Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin ng Hari sa nangasa kaniyang kanan, Magsiparito kayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama, manahin ninyo ang kahariang nakahanda sa inyo buhat nang itatag ang sanglibutan:
35 Sapagka't ako'y nagutom, at ako'y inyong pinakain; ako'y nauhaw, at ako'y inyong pinainom; ako'y naging taga ibang bayan, at inyo akong pinatuloy;
36 Naging hubad, at inyo akong pinaramtan; ako'y nagkasakit, at inyo akong dinalaw; ako'y nabilanggo, at inyo akong pinaroonan.
37 Kung magkagayo'y sasagutin siya ng mga matuwid, na mangagsasabi, Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom, at pinakain ka namin? o nauuhaw, at pinainom ka?
38 At kailan ka naming nakitang isang taga ibang bayan, at pinatuloy ka? o hubad, at pinaramtan ka?
39 At kailan ka namin nakitang may-sakit, o nasa bilangguan, at dinalaw ka namin?
40 At sasagot ang Hari at sasabihin sa kanila, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Yamang inyong ginawa sa isa dito sa aking mga kapatid, kahit sa pinakamaliit na ito, ay sa akin ninyo ginawa.
41 Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin naman niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, Magsilayo kayo sa akin, kayong mga sinumpa, at pasa apoy na walang hanggan na inihanda sa diablo at sa kaniyang mga anghel:
42 Sapagka't ako'y nagutom, at hindi ninyo ako pinakain; ako'y nauhaw, at hindi ninyo ako pinainom;
43 Ako'y naging isang taga ibang bayan, at hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy; hubad, at hindi ninyo ako pinaramtan; maysakit at nasa bilangguan, at hindi ako dinalaw.
44 Kung magkagayo'y sila nama'y magsisisagot, na magsisipagsabi, Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagugutom, o nauuhaw, o isang taga ibang bayan, o hubad, o may-sakit, o nasa bilangguan, at hindi ka namin pinaglingkuran?
45 Kung magkagayo'y sila'y sasagutin niya, na sasabihin, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na yamang hindi ninyo ginawa sa maliliit na ito, ay hindi ninyo ginawa sa akin.
46 At ang mga ito'y mangapaparoon sa walang hanggang kaparusahan: datapuwa't ang mga matuwid ay sa walang hanggang buhay.

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)
