마태복음 25장 NASB
- 1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
- 2 "Five of them were foolish and five were prudent.
- 3 "For when the foolish took their lamps they took no oil with them
- 4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
- 5 "Now while the bridegroom was delaying they all got drowsy and began to sleep.
- 6 "But at midnight there was a shout 'Behold the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'
- 7 "Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
- 8 "The foolish said to the prudent 'Give us some of your oil for 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.'
- 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.
- 11 "Later the other virgins also came saying 'Lord lord open up for us.'
- 12 "But he answered 'Truly I say to you I do not know you.'
- 13 "Be on the alert then for you do not know the day nor the hour.
- 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.
- 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.
- 16 "Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them and gained five more talents.
- 17 "In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.
- 18 "But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
- 19 "Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts 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.'
- 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.'
- 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.'
- 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.'
- 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.
- 25 'And I was afraid and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See you have what is yours.'
- 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.
- 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.
- 28 'Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to the one who has 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.
- 30 "Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 31 "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the angels with Him then He will sit on His glorious throne.
- 32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
- 33 and He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.
- 34 "Then the King will say to those on His right 'Come you who are blessed of My Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
- 35 'For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited Me in;
- 36 naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to 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?
- 38 'And when did we see You a stranger and invite You in or naked and clothe You?
- 39 'When did we see You sick or in prison and come to You?'
- 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.'
- 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;
- 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing 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.'
- 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?'
- 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.'
- 46 "These will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life."
