Matthew Chapter 25 Verse 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:›

‹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:›

‹And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,› [there] ‹thou hast› [that is] ‹thine.›

‹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:›

‹Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and› [then] ‹at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.›

‹Take therefore the talent from him, and give› [it] ‹unto him which hath ten talents.›

‹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.›

‹And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.›

‹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:›

‹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:›

‹And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.›

‹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:›

‹Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.›

‹Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed› [thee]? ‹or thirsty, and gave› [thee] ‹drink?›

‹When saw we thee a stranger, and took› [thee] ‹in? or naked, and clothed› [thee]?

‹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?›

‹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.›

‹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:›

‹For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:›

‹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.›

‹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?›
