class=\"wj\">Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V2\">2\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And five of them were wise, and five <span class=\"add\">were<\/span> foolish. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V3\">3\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">They that <span class=\"add\">were<\/span> foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V4\">4\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V5\">5\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V6\">6\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V7\">7\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V8\">8\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V9\">9\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">But the wise answered, saying, <span class=\"add\">Not so;<\/span> lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V10\">10\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V11\">11\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V12\">12\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V13\">13\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V14\">14\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For <span class=\"add\">the kingdom of heaven is<\/span> as a man travelling into a far country, <span class=\"add\">who<\/span> called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V15\">15\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V16\">16\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made <span class=\"add\">them<\/span> other five talents. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V17\">17\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And likewise he that <span class=\"add\">had received<\/span> two, he also gained other two. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V18\">18\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord\u2019s money. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V19\">19\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V20\">20\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V21\">21\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">His lord said unto him, Well done, <span class=\"add\">thou<\/span> good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V22\">22\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V23\">23\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V24\">24\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V25\">25\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, <span class=\"add\">there<\/span> thou hast <span class=\"add\">that is<\/span> thine. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V26\">26\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">His lord answered and said unto him, <span class=\"add\">Thou<\/span> wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V27\">27\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and <span class=\"add\">then<\/span> at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V28\">28\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Take therefore the talent from him, and give <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> unto him which hath ten talents. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V29\">29\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V30\">30\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V31\">31\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V32\">32\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth <span class=\"add\">his<\/span> sheep from the goats: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V33\">33\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V34\">34\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V35\">35\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V36\">36\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V37\">37\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed <span class=\"add\">thee?<\/span> or thirsty, and gave <span class=\"add\">thee<\/span> drink? <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V38\">38\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">When saw we thee a stranger, and took <span class=\"add\">thee<\/span> in? or naked, and clothed <span class=\"add\">thee? <\/span><\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V39\">39\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V40\">40\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> unto me. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V41\">41\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V42\">42\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V43\">43\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V44\">44\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V45\">45\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> not to one of the least of these, ye did <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> not to me. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V46\">46\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.<\/span> <\/div><hr \/><\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div
