Matthew 25 Flashcards
Matthew 25:1
25:1 At that time the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25:2
25:2 And five of them were foolish and five were prudent.
Matthew 25:3
25:3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, did not take oil with them;
Matthew 25:4
25:4 But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:5
25:5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
Matthew 25:6
25:6 But at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Go forth to meet him!
Matthew 25:7
25:7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their own lamps.
Matthew 25:8
25:8 And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
Matthew 25:9
25:9 But the prudent answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.

Matthew 25:13
25:13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
Matthew 25:14
25:14 For the kingdom of the heavens is just like a man about to go abroad, who called his own slaves and delivered to them his possessions.
Matthew 25:15
25:15 To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability. And he went abroad.
Matthew 25:16
25:16 Immediately he who had received the five talents went and traded with them and gained another five.
Matthew 25:17
25:17 Similarly, he who had received the two gained another two.
