MODERN LITERAL VERSION 2019 VERSION

25:1 Then the kingdom of the heavens will be similar to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forth to the encounter of the bridegroom.

25:2 Now five out of them were prudent and five were foolish.

25:3 Those who were foolish, having taken their lamps, took no oil with them;

25:4 but the prudent took oil in their containers with their lamps.

25:5 Now the bridegroom while he was delaying, they all slumbered and were sleeping.

25:6 But in the middle of the night, there has become an outcry, Behold, the bridegroom is coming! Go* forth to the encounter of him.

25:7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

25:8 Now the foolish said to the prudent, Give* us some oil from your* oil, because our lamps are quenched.

25:9 But the prudent answered, saying, No, lest it might not be enough for us and you* too, but rather, travel* to those who sell and buy* for yourselves.

25:10 But while going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared entered with him to the marriage-feast, and the door was locked.

25:11 Later the rest of the virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

25:12 But he answered and said, Assuredly I am saying to you*, I do not know you*.

25:13 Therefore watch*, because you* do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.


25:14 For* it is just-like a man, going-abroad, who called his own bondservants and gave to them his possessions.

25:15 And he gave to one five silver talants {84, 000 dollars US} , but two to another, and one to another; to each according to his own ability, and immediately went-abroad.

25:16 Now he who received the five talants traveled away, and took them and worked with* them, and made* another five talants.

25:17 Likewise*, he who also received the two also gained another two.

25:18 But he who received the one, having gone away, shoveled in the soil and hid his lord's silver.

25:19 Now after a long time, the lord of those bondservants comes back, and settles the account with them.

25:20 And he who received the five talants came near and brought the other five talants, saying, Lord, You gave to me five talants. Behold, I gained another five talants over them.

25:21 But his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful bondservant. You were faithful over a few things, I will be designating you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.


25:22 Now he who also received the two talants came near and said, Lord, You gave to me two talants. Behold, I gained another two talants over them.

25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful bondservant. You were faithful over a few things, I will be designating you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.


25:24 Now he who also had received the one talant came near and said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter;

25:25 and I was afraid and went away and hid your talant in the soil. Behold, you have your own.

25:26 But his lord answered and said to him, You evil and lazy bondservant, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter?

25:27 Therefore, it was essential for you to put my silver with the bankers, and when I came back, I might get back my own together with interest.

25:28 Therefore, take* away the talant from him and give* it to the one who has the ten talants.

25:29 For* to everyone who has, will be given more, and he will abound, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

25:30 And cast* out the useless bondservant into the outer darkness?????? the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be there.


25:31 But whenever the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the holy messengers with him. Then he will be sitting upon the throne of his glory;

25:32 and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will be separating* them one from another, like the shepherd separates* the sheep from the goats;

25:33 and he will indeed stand the sheep at his right, but the goats at the left.

25:34 Then the King will be saying to those at his right, Come-here*, those who have been blessed from my Father, inherit* the kingdom which has been prepared for you* from the conception of the world:

25:35 for* I was hungry and you* gave me food to eat; I was thirsty and you* made me a drink; I was a stranger and you* led me in;

25:36 I was naked and you* dressed me; I was sick and you* visited me; I was in prison and you* came to me.

25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and nourish you? Or thirsty and gave you a drink?

25:38 But when did we see you as a stranger and lead you in? Or naked and dressed you?

25:39 But when did we see you sick or in prison and came to you?

25:40 And when the King answers, he will say to them, Assuredly I am saying to you*, Inasmuch as you* did it to one of these, my brethren, even the least, you* did it to me.

25:41 Then he will also say to them at the left, Travel* away from me, you* those who have been cursed into the everlasting fire which has been prepared for the devil and his messengers:

25:42 for* I was hungry and you* did not give me anything to eat; I was thirsty and you* made me nothing to drink;

25:43 I was a stranger and you* did not lead me in; naked and you* did not dress me; sick and in prison and you* did not visit me.

25:44 Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, or as a stranger or naked, or sick or in prison, and did not serve you?


25:45 Then he will answer them, saying, Assuredly I am saying to you*, Inasmuch as you* did it not to one of these, the least, neither did you* do it to me.

25:46 And these will be going away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.
