The Gospel of Matthew 19:3-25:46

20.

Then the kingdom of the heavens will be like ten virgins, who, taking their lamps went forth to a meeting with the bridegroom. Now five of them were foolish and five prudent. The foolish ones, on taking their lamps did not take oil with them. But the prudent ones took oil in vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom delayed everyone slumbered and slept.

Then in the middle of the night there was a cry. “Behold the bridegroom is coming. Go forth to meet him.” Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. But the foolish said to the prudent ones. “Give us some of your oil because our lamps have gone out. But the prudent ones answered saying “In case here is not enough for both us and you go rather to those who sell it and buy some for yourselves. But while they were away buying it the bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding festivities. The door was shut. Later on the remaining virgins came saying “Lord Lord open the door for us.” But He answering said “Truly I say to you I do not know you. Watch therefore, because you do not know the day nor the hour." 25:1-13

21.

(In the future) There was a man going away from home and he called his own slaves and delivered his goods to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one - each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately on his going the one who had received the five talents traded with them and gained another five. Similarly the one receiving the two gained another two. But the one who had received the one talent on going away dug a hole and hid his lord’s silver. Then after a long time the lord of those slaves came to make an account with them. The one who had received five talents approached and brought the other five talents saying “Lord you delivered five talents to me. Behold I gained another five talents.” His lord said to him “Well done good and faithful slave. Because you were faithful over a few things I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your lord." Then the one who had received the two talents approached and said “Lord you delivered two talents to me. Behold the two further talents I gained. “ His Lord said to him "Well done good and faithful slave. Because you were faithful over a few things I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."

Then the one who had received one talent approached. He said “Lord I knew you and what a hard man you are, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter. Being afraid I went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold what is yours.” And answering his lord to him. “Evil and slothful slave. You knew that I reap where I did not sow and I gather from where I did not scatter. It behooved you therefore to put my silver pieces with the bankers so that on coming I would have received my money with interest. Therefore take from him the talent I gave and give it instead to the one who has ten talents. For to everyone who has, more will be given in abundance. But from the one who does not have even what he has will be taken from him.” And as for the useless slave you will be cast out into the outer darkness where there will be wailing and the gnashing of teeth. 25:14-30
