31“当人子在祂的荣耀中与众天使降临的时候,祂要坐在荣耀的宝座上,32万民要聚集在祂面前。祂要把他们分开,就像牧人把绵羊和山羊分开一样。33祂要把绵羊放在右边,山羊放在左边。34那时,王会对右边的人说,‘我父所赐福的人啊,来承受创世以来为你们预备的国度吧。35因为我饥饿时,你们给我吃的;我口渴时,你们给我喝的;我身在异乡时,你们接待我;36我赤身露体时,你们给我穿的;我生病时,你们照顾我;我坐牢时,你们来看我。’37“那些义人会回答说,‘主啊!我们什么时候见你饿了就给你吃的?见你渴了就给你喝的?38见你身在异乡就接待你?见你赤身露体就给你穿的呢?39我们又什么时候见你生病或坐牢,就去看你呢?’40“王会回答说,‘我实在告诉你们,你们帮助我最卑微的一个弟兄,就是帮助我了。’41“王又对左边的人说,‘你们这些被咒诅的人,走开!到专为魔鬼及其使者预备的永远不灭的火里去吧!42因为我饥饿时,你们不给我吃的;我口渴时,你们不给我喝的;43我身在异乡时,你们不接待我;我赤身露体时,你们不给我衣服;我生病时,你们不照顾我;我坐牢时,你们不来看我。’44“他们会问,‘主啊,我们什么时候见你饿了,或渴了,或身在异乡,或赤身露体,或病了,或坐牢,却没有帮助你呢?’45“王会回答说,‘我实在告诉你们,你们没有帮助我最卑微的一个弟兄,就是没有帮助我。’46这些人要受永远的刑罚,但义人要得到永远的生命。”

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps* and went to meet the bridegroom.*2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.5As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.6But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’7Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’9But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’10And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.11Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’12But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’13Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
The Parable of the Talents
14“For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants* and entrusted to them his property.15To one he gave five talents,* to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.16He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.17So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.18But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money.19Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.20And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’21His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.* You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’22And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’23His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’24He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?27Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.28So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.29For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.30And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Final Judgment
31“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.34Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.35For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,* you did it to me.’41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.42For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’44Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’45Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’46And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
