Matthew 25:2-15

2FiveG4002 of them were foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 were 1prudentG5429. 3For when the foolishG3474 tookG2983 their lampsG2985, they did not takeG2983 extra oilG1637 with them; 4but the 2prudentG5429 ones tookG2983 oilG1637 in flasksG30 with their lampsG2985. 5NowG1161 while the groomG3566 was delayingG5549, they allG3956 becameG3573 drowsyG3573 and began to sleepG2518. 6But at midnightG3319G3571 3there finally was a shoutG2906: ‘BeholdG2400, the groomG3566! ComeG1831 outG1831 to meetG529 him.’ 7ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 gotG1453 upG1453 and trimmedG2885 their lampsG2985. 8But the foolishG3474 virgins saidG3004 to the prudentG5429 ones, ‘GiveG1325 us someG1537 of your oilG1637, becauseG3754 our lampsG2985 are goingG4570 outG4570.’ 9HoweverG1161, the 4prudentG5429 ones answeredG611, ‘No, there mostG3379 certainlyG3364 would not be enoughG714 for us and you too; goG4198 insteadG3123 to the merchantsG4453 and buyG59 some for yourselvesG1438.’ 10But while they were 5on their wayG565 to buyG59 the oil, the groomG3566 cameG2064, and thoseG3588 who were 6readyG2092 wentG1525 inG1525 with him to 7the weddingG1062 feastG1062; and 8the doorG2374 was shutG2808. 11YetG1161 laterG5305, the otherG3062 virginsG3933 alsoG2532 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘9LordG2962, lordG2962, openG455 upG455 for us.’ 12But he answeredG611, ‘TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, I do not knowG3609 you.’ 1310Be on the alertG1127 thenG3767, becauseG3754 you do not knowG3609 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610.

14“11For it is justG5618 likeG5618 a manG444 12about to goG589 onG589 aG589 journeyG589, who calledG2564 his ownG2398 slavesG1401 and entrustedG3860 his possessionsG5225 to them. 15To oneG3739 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 1314talentsG5007, to anotherG3739G1161, twoG1417, and to anotherG3739G1161, oneG1520, eachG1538 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 abilityG1411; and he 15wentG589 onG589 his journeyG589.
