Matthew - ch 25 v 1 - 20

  1. `Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
  2. and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
  3. they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
  4. and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
  5. `And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
  6. and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
  7. `Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
  8. and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
  9. and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.
  10. `And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;
  11. and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
  12. and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
  13. `Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
  14. `For -- as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
  15. and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
  16. `And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
  17. in like manner also he who `received' the two, he gained, also he, other two;
  18. and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
  19. `And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
  20. and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.
