Matthew 25:10–18
10While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.↗
11Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’↗
12But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’↗
13Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.↗
14“For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.↗
15To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.↗
16Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.↗
17In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.↗
18But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.↗
