Matthew 25:24-46
- 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:
- 25
- And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
- 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:
- 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.
- 28
- Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
- 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.
- 30
- And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 31
- 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:
- 32
- And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
- 33
- And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
- 34
- 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:
- 35
- 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:
- 36
- Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
- 37
- Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
- 38
- When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
- 39
- Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
- 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.
- 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:
- 42
- For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 46
- And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
