\subsection{\Matthew 25} \subsubsection{The Parable of the Ten Virgins} \VS{1} Then the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom. \VS{2} But five of them were foolish and five shrewd. \VS{3} For when the foolish took their lamps they did not take oil with them. \VS{4} But the shrewd took oil in vessels with their lamps. \VS{5} Now when the bridegroom delayed they all became drowsy and were sleeping. \VS{6} So in the middle of the night [a] cry came about: Behold the bridegroom, be going out to meet [him]. \VS{7} Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. \VS{8} So the foolish said to the shrewd: Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. \VS{9} But the shrewd answered saying: Never, there is \negd{not} enough for us and you. Be going rather to the sellers and buy for yourselves. \VS{10} While they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and the prepared went in with him into the wedding, and the door was shut. \VS{11} Later the rest of the virgins came saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. \VS{12} But answering he said: Truly I say to you I know you not. \VS{13} Be watching therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. \subsubsection{The Parable of the Talents} \VS{14} For likewise [a] man going on a journey called his own slaves and committed to them his possessions. \VS{15} And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, each according to his own ability\footnote{or ``power''}, and left. \VS{16} Straightway the [one] receiving five talents went and worked in them and gained another five. \VS{17} Likewise the [one receiving] five gained another two. \VS{18} But when [he] receiving one went forth he dug in [the] ground\fnGe{} and hid his master's silver. \VS{19} Now after [a] long time the lord of those slaves comes and settles accounts with them. \VS{20} And when [he] receiving the five talents came he brought another five talents saying: Lord, five talents have you given me, Behold I gained another five talents. \VS{21} His lord said to him: Excellent, good and trustworthy slave. Over little were you trustworthy, over much will I appoint you, Enter into the joy of your lord. \VS{22} And when he [receiving] the two talents came he said: Lord, two talents have you given me. Behold I gained another two talents. \VS{23} His Lord said to him: Excellent, good and trustworthy slave, over little were you trustworthy, over much will I appoint you. Enter into the joy of your lord. \VS{24} But when [he] having received one talent also came he said: Lord, having known you, that you are [a] hard\footnote{or ``harsh"} man, reaping where you did not sow, gathering whence you did not scatter, \VS{25} and being afraid, having gone I hid your talent in the ground\fnGe{}. Behold you have your own. \VS{26} But answering his lord said to him: Wicked\fnPoneros{} and troublesome slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather whence I did not scatter? \VS{27} You ought therefore to have given my silver to the bankers\footnote{or ``money-changers"}, and when I came I would have received mine own with interest. \VS{28} Take therefore from the talent and give it to him having the ten talents. \VS{29} For to him having all will more be given and it will overflow. But from him not having even what he has will be taken from him. \VS{30} And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness. There will there be wailing and grinding\footnote{or ``gnashing,'' ``biting,'' ``snarling''} of teeth. \subsubsection{The Judgment} \VS{31} But when the son of man comes in his glory and all his angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory. \VS{32} And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. \VS{33} And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on his left. \VS{34} Then the king will say to those on his right: Come you blessed of my father, Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. \VS{35} For I hungered and you gave me to eat, I thirsted and you gave me to drink, I was [a] stranger and you gathered me, \VS{36} naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, in prison and you came to me. \VS{37} Then the just will answer him saying: Lord, when did we see you hungry and we fed you, or thirsty and we gave you to drink? \VS{38} And when did we see you [a] stranger and we gathered you, or naked and we fed you? \VS{39} And when did we see you sick or in prison and we came to you? \VS{40} And answering the king will say to them: Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. \VS{41} And then will he say to those on his left: Be departing from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. \VS{42} For I hungered and you did not give me to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, \VS{43} I was [a] stranger and you did not gather me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not look after me. \VS{44} Then they also answered saying: Lord, when did we see you hungering or thirsting or [a] stranger or naked or sick or in prison and we did not serve you? \VS{45} Then he will answer them saying: Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to me. \VS{46} And these will go into eternal punishment, but the just into eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}.
