1“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be like ten virgins, who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the groom and the bride.

2But five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

stylus

3For the five foolish, having brought their lamps, did not take oil with them.

4Yet truly, the prudent ones brought the oil, in their containers, with the lamps.

stylus

Luke 12:35, Proverbs 13:9, Luke 12:35, Proverbs 13:9, Hebrews 4:1

9The prudent responded by saying, ‘Lest perhaps there may not be enough for us and for you, it would be better for you to go to the vendors and buy some for yourselves.’

stylus

Psalms 49:7, Psalms 49:9, Psalms 49:7, Psalms 49:9, Revelation 3:17

stylus

Luke 13:25, Luke 13:25, 1 Peter 1:13, Luke 12:36, Luke 12:37

stylus

Matthew 18:24, Matthew 18:24, Luke 19:13, Luke 19:14, Luke 19:13

16Then he who had received five talents went out, and he made use of these, and he gained another five.

stylus

stylus

1 Corinthians 3:12, 1 Corinthians 3:15, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:12, 1 Corinthians 3:15

stylus

Acts 20:24, Acts 20:24, Colossians 1:29, 2 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 4:8

stylus

Matthew 25:21, Matthew 25:21, Mark 12:41, Mark 12:44, Mark 14:8

24Then he who had received one talent, approaching, said: ‘Lord, I know that you are a hard man. You reap where you have not sown, and gather where you have not scattered.

stylus

Luke 19:20, Luke 19:22, Luke 19:20, Luke 19:22, Luke 15:29

stylus

2 Timothy 1:6, 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, 2 Timothy 1:6, 2 Timothy 1:7

26But his lord said to him in response: ‘You evil and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered.

stylus

Matthew 18:32, Matthew 18:32, Job 15:5, Job 15:6, Job 15:5

stylus

Deuteronomy 23:19, Deuteronomy 23:20, Romans 3:19, Luke 19:22, Luke 19:23

28And so, take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.

stylus

Luke 19:24, Luke 19:24, Luke 10:42, Luke 10:42

stylus

Matthew 13:12, Matthew 13:12, Mark 4:25, Luke 8:18, Mark 4:25

stylus

1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:20, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:20, James 2:5

stylus

James 1:27, James 1:27, James 5:14, James 5:15, Hebrews 13:3

stylus

Matthew 6:3, Matthew 6:3, 1 Peter 5:5, 1 Peter 5:6, 1 Chronicles 29:14

41Then he shall also say, to those who will be on his left: ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

stylus

Jude 1:6, Jude 1:7, Jude 1:6, Jude 1:7, 2 Peter 2:4

stylus

James 2:15, James 2:24, John 5:23, Matthew 12:30, 2 Thessalonians 1:8

43I was a stranger and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not cover me; sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.’
