- 1. Then shall the kyngdome of heauen be lykened vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes, and went to meete the brydegrome.
- 2. But fyue of them were foolyshe, and fyue were wyse.
- 3. They that were foolyshe, toke their lampes, but toke none oyle with them:
- 4. But the wise, toke oyle in their vessels, with their lampes also.
- 5. Whyle the brydegrome taryed, they all slumbred and slept.
- 6. And euen at mydnyght, there was a crye made: beholde, the brydegrome commeth, go out to meete hym.
- 7. Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lampes.
- 8. So the foolyshe sayde vnto the wyse: geue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are gone out.
- 9. But the wyse aunswered, saying: [not so] lest there be not inough for vs & you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues.
- 10. And whyle they went to bye, the brydegome came: and they that were redy, went in with hym, to ye maryage, and the gate was shut vp.
- 11. Afterwarde came also the other virgins, saying: Lorde, Lorde, open to vs.
- 12. But he aunswered and sayde: veryly I say vnto you, I knowe you not.
- 13. Watch therfore, for ye knowe neither the day, nor yet the houre, wherin the sonne of man shall come.
- 14. Lykewyse, as a [certayne] man, redy to take his iourney into a straunge countrey, called his owne seruauntes, and delyuered vnto them his goodes.
- 15. And vnto one, he gaue fyue talentes, to another two, and to another one: to euery man after his habilitie, & strayght way departed.
- 16. Then he that had receaued the fyue talentes, went, and occupyed with the same, & made [them] other fyue talentes.
- 17. And lykewyse, he [that receaued] two: he also gayned other two.
- 18. But he that receaued that one, went and digged in the earth, and hyd his Lordes money.
- 19. After a long season, the Lorde of those seruauntes commeth, and reckeneth with them.
- 20. And so, he that had receaued fyue talentes, came, and brought other fyue talentes, saying: Lorde, thou delyueredst vnto me fyue talentes, beholde, I haue gayned with them fyue talentes mo.
- 21. His Lorde saide vnto him: Well done, thou good and faythfull seruaut. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thynges, I wyll make thee ruler ouer manye thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde.
- 22. He also that had receaued two talentes, came, and sayde: Lorde thou delyueredst vnto me two talentes, beholde, I haue wonne two other taletes with them.
- 23. His Lorde saide vnto him? Well done, good and faithfull seruaunt. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyl make thee ruler ouer many thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde.
- 24. Then he which had receaued the one talent, came, and saide: Lorde I knew thee, that thou art an harde man, reapyng where thou hast not sowen, & gatheryng where thou hast not strowed.
- 25. And [therfore] was I afrayde, & went and hid thy talent in the earth: loe, there thou hast that thyne is.
- 26. His Lorde aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Thou euyll and slouthfull seruaut, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I haue not strowed,
- 27. Thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, and then at my commyng shoulde I haue receaued myne owne with vauntage.
- 28. Take therfore the talent from hym, and geue it vnto hym whiche hath ten talentes.
- 29. For vnto euery one that hath, shalbe geuen, and he shall haue aboundaunce: But he that hath not, from hym shalbe taken away, euen that which he hath.
- 30. And cast the vnprofitable seruaunt into vtter darknesse, there shalbe wepyng, and gnasshyng of teeth.
- 31. When the sonne of man shall come in his glorie, and all the holy Angels with hym, then shall he sitte vpon the throne of his glorie.
- 32. And before hym shalbe gathered all nations: and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shephearde deuideth his sheepe from the goates.
- 33. And he shall set the sheepe on his right hande, but the goates on the lefte.
- 34. Then shall the king say vnto them on his right hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inherite the kyngdome, prepared for you from the foundation of the worlde.
- 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me drynke: I was harbourlesse, and ye toke me in:
- 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: Sicke, and ye visited me: I was in pryson, and ye came vnto me.
- 37. Then shall the ryghteous aunswere hym, saying: Lorde, when sawe we thee an hungred, & fedde thee? or thirstie and gaue thee drynke?
- 38. When sawe we thee harbourlesse, and toke thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
- 39. Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
- 40. And the kyng shall aunswere, and say vnto them: Ueryly I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethren, ye haue done [it] vnto me.
- 41. Then shall he saye vnto them on the left hande: Depart from me ye cursed into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuyll and his angels.
- 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me no drynke.
- 43. I was harbourlesse, and ye toke me not in: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: I was sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
- 44. Then shall they also aunswere hym, saying: Lorde, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirste, or harbourlesse, or naked, or sicke, or in pryson, and did not minister vnto thee?
- 45. Then shall he aunswere them, saying: Ueryly I say vnto you, in as much as ye dyd it not to one of the least of these, ye dyd it not to me.
- 46. And these shall go into euerlastyng payne: the ryghteous into lyfe eternall.
