A Man About to Travel Gives His 3 Servants Money |
Matthew 25:1-46 The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then, the Kingdom of heaven shall be [compared] to 10 virgins, [who] took their lamps, & went [out] to meet the bridegroom. [Revelation 21:9-10 And one of the 7 Angels came there to me, [who] had the 7 full vials of the 7 last plagues, & talked with me, saying, Come [here.] |
I will [show] you the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain. And [showed] me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending from God, out of heaven.] |
And 5 of them were wise, & 5 were foolish. [Those, who] were foolish took their lamps, & [didn't take] oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. While the bridegroom [delayed,] they all [rested] & slept. |
[1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 For you are all the children of Light, & the children of the day. We aren't of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, [like] others do. But let us watch, & be sober.] |
And at midnight there was a cry made, [Look,] the bridegroom comes. You, go out to meet him. [Revelation 1:7-8 [Look,] He comes with clouds. And every eye shall see Him, & also [those, who] pierced Him. |
And all the [families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is, [Who] was, & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.] |
Then, all those virgins arose, & trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us [some] of your oil; for our lamps [have] gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [No;] lest there [isn't] enough for us & you. But [instead,] you go to [those who] sell, & buy for yourselves. |
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And [those, who] were ready went in with him to the marriage; & the door was shut. [Luke 13:24-25 I say to you, Strive to enter in at the [narrow] gate: for many will seek to enter in, & shall not be able. |
Once the master of the house has shut the door, & you begin to stand [outside,] & knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he is risen up, shall answer, & say to you, I [don't] know you, & [where] you are [from.] |
Afterward, the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord open to us. But he answered & said, [Truly,] I say to you, I [don't] know you. [John 9:31 Now we know that God [doesn't] hear sinners. But if any man [is] a worshiper of God, & does His will, He [hears] him.] |
Therefore watch, for you [don't] know the day nor the hour, [in which] the Son of Man [comes.] [Mark 13:32 But no man knows of that day & that hour, no, not the Angels, [who] are in heaven, neither the Son, [only] the Father.] |
For the kingdom of heaven is [like] a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, & delivered his goods to them. And to one, he gave 5 talents, to another 2, & to another 1. [He gave] to every man according to his [various abilities,] & [immediately] took his journey. |
[Romans 12:3-8 For through the grace given to me, I say to every man, [who] is among you, not to think of himself more highly that he [should] think. But to think soberly, according [like] the measure of faith God has dealt to every man. |
For [since] we have many members in 1 body, & all [body] members [don't] have the same [function.] So, we being many, are 1 body in Christ, & everyone members [with] one another. |
Then, having differing gifts, according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith [given.] Or ministry, let us [serve in] our ministering. Or he, [who] teaches, [serve by] teaching. |
Or he, [who advises,] [serve by] [advising.] He, [who] gives, let him [give] with simplicity. He, [who leads,] [will lead] with diligence. He, [who declares] mercy, [shall be merciful,] with cheerfulness.] |
Then, he, [who] had received the 5 talents, went & traded with the same, & made them 5 other talents. And [also,] he, [who] had received 2 [talents,] he also gained 2 [others.] But he, [who] had received 1 [talent,] went & [dug] in the [ground] & hid his lord's money. |
After a long time, the lord of those servants [came] & [settled accounts] with them. So, he [who] had received 5 talents came & brought [the] other 5 talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me 5 talents. [Look,] I have gained 5 more talents [in addition to] them. |
His lord said to him, Well done, you good & faithful servant. You [have] been faithful over a few things, I will make your ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over many things. You, enter into the joy of your Lord. |
He, [who] also received 2 talents came & said, Lord, you delivered 2 talents to me. [See,] I have gained 2 other talents [in addition to] them. His lord said to him, Well done, good & faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over many things. |
You, enter into the joy of your Lord. [Revelation 2:25-26 But hold [tight] [to] [what] you already have, [until] I come. And he, [who overcomes] & [keeps] [doing] My work until the end, I will give power to him over the nations.] |
Then, he [who] received 1 talent came & said, Lord, I knew that you [are a harsh] man, reaping where you haven't sown, & gathering where you haven't [scattered] [any seed.] And I was afraid, & went & hid your talent in the [ground.] [Look,] you have there [what] is yours. |
His lord answered & said to him, You wicked & [lazy] servant. You [knew] that I reap where I [didn't sow,] & gather where I haven't [scattered.] Therefore, you [should] have put my money to the [bankers,] & at my coming, then I should have received [my] own with [interest.] |
Therefore, take the talent from him, & give it to him [who] had 10 talents. For to everyone, [who has,] shall be given, & he shall have [an] abundance. But from him, [who doesn't] have, shall be taken away, even [what] he has. |
[Matthew 7:17-20 Even so, every good tree [produces] good fruit, but a [bad] tree [produces bad] fruit. A good tree can't [produce bad] fruit, & neither can a [bad] tree [produce] good fruit. Every tree that [doesn't produce] good fruit it [cut] down & cast into the fire. [For this reason,] you shall know them by their fruits.] |
And you, cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness. Weeping & gnashing of teeth shall be there. When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, & all the holy Angels with Him, then He shall sit upon the throne of His glory. |
[Matthew 16:27 *For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His Angels. And He shall then reward every man according to his works, [a.k.a. deeds.] |
And all nations shall be gathered [in front of] Him, & He shall separate them one from another, [like] a shepherd [divides] His sheep from the goats. [Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me, & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a. deeds.] |
I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those, who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs; sorcerers; [sexual traffickers;] murderers, idolaters, & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.] |
And He shall [put] the sheep on His right hand [side,] but the goats on the left. Then, the King shall say to [those] on His right hand, You, blessed of My Father, come & inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was [hungry,] & you gave Me meat, [a.k.a. food.] |
I was thirsty, & you gave Me [something to] drink. I was a stranger, & you took Me in. Naked, & you clothed Me. I was sick, & you visited Me. I was in prison, & you came to Me. Then, the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when [did] we [see] You [hungry,] & fed you? Or thirsty, & gave You drink? |
When [did] we [see] You a stranger, & took You in? Or naked, & clothed You? Or when [did] we see You sick, or in prison, & came to You? And the King shall answer & say to them, [Truly,] I say to you, [In that,] you have done it to one of the least of these [of] My brethren, you have done it to Me. |
Then, He shall also say to [those] on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil & his angels. For I was [hungry] & you [didn't] give Me [any] meat, [a.k.a. food.] I was thirsty, & you gave Me no drink. I was a stranger, & you [didn't] take Me in. |
Naked, & you [didn't] clothe Me. Sick, & in prison, & you [didn't visit] Me. Then, they shall also answer Him, saying, Lord, when [did] we see you [hungry,] or [thirsty,] or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't minister to You? |
Then, He shall answer them, saying, [Truly,] I say to you, [In that,] you didn't [do] it [for] one of the least of these, you didn't [do] it [for] Me. [Ezekiel 33:31 And they come to you [like] the [other] people come. And they sit [in front of] you [like] My people, & they hear your Words. But they won't do them. For they [declare] much love with their mouth, but their heart [follows] after their [greed.] |
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. |
For God [didn't] [send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He, [who] believes [in] Him is not condemned, but he [who] doesn't believe, is condemned already, because he hasn't believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.] |
