Matthew 25:2-15

2And fiveG4002 of them wereG1510 foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 wereG1510 wiseG5429. 3For the foolishG3474, when they tookG2983 their lampsG2985, tookG2983 no oilG1637 with them: 4but the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 in their vessels with their lampsG2985. 5NowG1161 while the bridegroomG3566 tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6But at midnight there is a cry, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566! ComeG1831 ye forthG1831 to meetG529 him. 7Then all those virginsG3933 arose, and trimmed their lampsG2985. 8And the foolishG3474 saidG3004 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 us of your oilG1637; for our lampsG2985 are going out. 9But the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: goG4198 ye ratherG3123 to them that sellG4453, and buyG59 for yourselves. 10And while they wentG565 awayG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; and they that were readyG2092 wentG565 in with him to the marriageG1062 feastG1062: and the doorG2374 was shutG2808. 11Afterward cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to us. 12But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, I know you not. 13WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, for ye know not the dayG2250 nor the hourG5610.

14Forit isaswhena manG444, going into another country, calledG2564 his ownG2398 servantsG1401, and deliveredG3860 unto them his goods. 15And unto oneG1520 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, to another twoG1417, to another oneG1520; to each accordingG2596 to his several abilityG1411; and he went on his journey.
