- 1. Then ye kingdome of heauen shalbe likened vnto tenne virgins, which tooke their lampes, and went foorth to meete the bridegrome.
- 2. And fiue of them were wise, & fiue foolish.
- 3. The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none oyle with them.
- 4. But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes.
- 5. Nowe while the bridegrome taried long, all slumbred and slept.
- 6. And at midnight there was a crie made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him.
- 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.
- 8. And the foolish said to the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are out.
- 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be ynough for vs and you: but goe ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues.
- 10. And while they went to bye, the bridegrome came: and they that were readie, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.
- 11. Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs.
- 12. But he answered, and said, Verely I say vnto you, I knowe you not.
- 13. Watch therfore: for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, when the sonne of man will come.
- 14. For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods.
- 15. And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, & to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own habilitie, & straightway went fro home.
- 16. Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents.
- 17. Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two.
- 18. But he that receiued that one, went & digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money.
- 19. But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them.
- 20. Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents.
- 21. Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
- 22. Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more.
- 23. His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
- 24. Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, & said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not:
- 25. I was therefore afraide, and went, & hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne.
- 26. And his master answered, & said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not.
- 27. Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, & then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage.
- 28. Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents.
- 29. For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away.
- 30. Cast therefore that vnprofitable seruant into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnasshing of teeth.
- 31. And when the Sonne of man commeth in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glorie,
- 32. And before him shalbe gathered all nations, & he shal seperate them one from another, as a shepheard separateth the sheepe from ye goates.
- 33. And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, and the goates on the left.
- 34. Then shall ye king say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
- 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in vnto you.
- 36. I was naked, & ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me.
- 37. Then shall the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gaue thee drinke?
- 38. And when sawe we thee a stranger, and tooke thee in vnto vs? or naked, & clothed thee?
- 39. Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
- 40. And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethre, ye haue done it to me.
- 41. Then shal he say vnto them on ye left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuill and his angels.
- 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me no drinke:
- 43. I was a stranger, & ye tooke me not in vnto you: I was naked, & ye clothed me not: sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
- 44. Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee?
- 45. Then shall he answere them, and say, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
- 46. And these shall goe into euerlasting paine, and the righteous into life eternall.
