\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{}.
