be taken, and the other left.
41
Two
women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43
But know this, that if
the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such
an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom
his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46
Blessed
is
that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47
Verily I say unto you, That he shall
make him ruler over all his goods.
48
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;
49
And shall begin to smite
his
fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
50
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for
him,
and in an
hour that he is not aware of,
51
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint
him
his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
CHAPTER 25
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went
forth to meet the bridegroom.
2
And five of them were wise, and five
were
foolish.
3
They that
were
foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4
But the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps.
5
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6
And at midnight
there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7
Then all those
virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
9
But the wise answered, saying,
Not so;
lest there be not enough for
us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10
And while they went to
buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door
was shut.
11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12
But he
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither
the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14
For
the kingdom of heaven is
as a man travelling into a far country,
who
called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods.
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16
Then
he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made
them
other five talents.
17
And likewise he that
had received
two, he also gained other two.
18
But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19
After a long time the lord of those
servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20
And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained
beside them five talents more.
21
His lord said unto him, Well done,
thou
good and faithful servant:
