Parable of Ten Virgins | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. | 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. | 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. | 1 THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. | 1 'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; | 2 "Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. | 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. | 2 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. | 2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise. | 2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; | 3 "For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, | 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: | 3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: | 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them: | 3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil; | 4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. | 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. | 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. | 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. | 4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. | 5 "Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. | 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. | 5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. | 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. | 5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' | 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. | 6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. | 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him. | 6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. | 7 "Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. | 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. | 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. | 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. | 7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, | 8 "The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' | 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. | 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. | 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. | 8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out; | 9 "But the prudent answered, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' | 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. | 9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. | 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. | 9 and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves. | 10 "And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. | 10 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. | 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. | 10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. | 10 'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "Later the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, lord, open up for us.' | 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. | 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. | 11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. | 11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; | 12 "But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' | 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. | 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. | 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. | 12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you. | 13 "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. | 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. | 13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. | 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour. | 13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come. | Parable of the Talents |
| 14 "For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. | 14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. | 14 For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. | 14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods; | 14 'For -- as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance, | 15 "To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. | 15 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. | 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. | 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. | 15 and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. | 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. | 16 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. | 16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five. | 16 'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents; | 17 "In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. | 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. | 17 In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. | 17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two. | 17 in like manner also he who received the two, he gained, also he, other two; | 18 "But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. | 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. | 18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. | 18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money. | 18 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. | 19 "Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. | 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. | 19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. | 19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them. | 19 'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them; | 20 "The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.' | 20 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. | 20 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. | 20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above. | 20 and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, 'Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' | 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou 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. | 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | 21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | 21 'And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. | 22 "Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, 'Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.' | 22 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. | 22 And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. | 22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two. | 22 'And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them. | 23 "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' | 23 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. | 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | 23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | 23 'His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. | 24 "And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. | 24 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: | 24 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter; | 24 But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed. | 24 'And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter; | 25 'And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.' | 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. | 25 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. | 25 And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine. | 25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own! | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 "But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. | 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: | 26 But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; | 26 And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed: | 26 'And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter! | 27 Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. | 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. | 27 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. | 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury. | 27 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase. | 28 'Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.' | 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. | 28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. | 28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents. | 28 'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents, | 29 "For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. | 29 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. | 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. | 29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. | 29 for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him; | 30 "Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 30 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. | 30 And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 30 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. | The Judgment |

| 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' | 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. | 36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. | 36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. | 36 naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me. | 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? | 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? | 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? | 37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? | 37 'Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink? | 38 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? | 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? | 38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? | 38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? | 38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around? | 39 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' | 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? | 39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? | 39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? | 39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee? | 40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' | 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. | 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. | 40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. | 40 And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did it. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; | 41 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: | 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: | 41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. | 41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; | 42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; | 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: | 42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; | 42 For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. | 42 for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink; | 43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.' | 43 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. | 43 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. | 43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. | 43 a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me. | 44 "Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?' | 44 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? | 44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? | 44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? | 44 'Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee? | 45 "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' | 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. | 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. | 45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. | 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 46 "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." | 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. | 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. | 46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting. | 46 And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.' |
