Matthew 25:24-27 · BSB · Tamil Scripture

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Luk 12:35-36 Mat 24:42-51 Rev 19:7 Php 2:15-16 Jhn 3:29 Rev 21:9 Isa 54:5 Mat 13:24 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Jer 24:2 1Co 10:1-5 Mat 13:19-23 Mat 13:47-48 1Jn 2:19 Jud 1:5 Mat 13:38-43 Mat 24:45 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil. 2Ti 3:5 Rev 3:15-16 Isa 48:1-2 Isa 58:2 Rev 3:1 Heb 12:15 Mat 23:25-26 Ezk 33:3 But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Rom 8:9 1Jn 2:20 1Jn 2:27 Jhn 3:34 Gal 5:22-23 Psa 45:7 Zec 4:2-3 2Co 1:22 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. Hab 2:3 1Th 5:6-8 2Pe 3:4-9 Luk 20:9 Mat 24:48 Heb 10:36-37 Luk 12:45 Mat 25:19

At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 2Pe 3:10 Jhn 5:28-29 Mat 24:31 Mat 25:1 Isa 25:9 Mat 24:44 Mal 3:1-2 1Th 4:16

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. Luk 12:35 2Pe 3:14 Rev 3:19-20 Rev 2:4-5 Rev 3:2 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ Pro 13:9 Luk 12:35 Heb 4:1 Mat 13:20-21 Rev 3:9 Job 18:5 Job 21:17 Job 8:13-14

‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ Psa 49:7-9 Rev 3:17-18 Isa 55:6-7 Ezk 14:20 Isa 55:1-3 Act 8:22 Ezk 14:14-16 Jer 15:1

But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. Luk 13:25 1Pe 1:13 Luk 12:36-37 Mat 24:44 Gen 7:16 2Ti 4:8 Amo 8:12-13 Heb 3:18-19

Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’ Mat 7:21-23 Heb 12:16-17

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ 1Co 8:3 2Ti 2:19 Jhn 10:27 Luk 13:26-30 Jhn 9:31 Psa 1:6 Psa 5:5 Gal 4:9

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. ¹ Mat 24:42-44 Rev 16:15 1Th 5:6 Luk 21:36 1Co 16:13 1Pe 5:8 Mrk 13:33-37 Mat 24:50

The Parable of the Talents

(Luke 19:11–27)

For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions. Mrk 13:34 1Pe 4:9-11 Rom 12:6-8 Luk 19:12-27 1Co 4:1-2 Eph 4:11 Mat 25:14-30 1Co 12:4 To one he gave five talents, ² to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey. Mat 18:24 Luk 19:13-14 Luk 12:48 The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work ³and gained five more. 1Ti 6:17-18 2Ti 2:6 3Jn 1:5-8 Phm 1:6-7 1Co 9:16-23 2Ch 33:15-16 2Ti 4:5-8 Act 13:36 Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more. Pro 3:9-10 Eph 5:16 1Ki 18:3-4 1Pe 4:10 1Ti 5:10 2Co 8:12 2Co 9:11-14 2Ki 4:8-10 But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money. 2Pe 1:8 Hag 1:2-4 Heb 6:12 Luk 19:20 Mal 1:10 Pro 18:9 Pro 26:13-16

After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them. 1Co 3:12-15 2Co 5:10 Rom 14:7-12 Luk 16:1-2 Mat 18:23-24 Luk 16:19-31 Mat 24:48 Mat 25:5 The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ 1Co 15:10 Act 20:24 2Ti 4:1-8 Col 1:29 Jas 2:18 Luk 19:16-17

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’ Mat 25:23 Luk 16:10 Jhn 12:26 2Ti 2:12 Rev 3:21 Jhn 14:3 Jhn 17:24 1Pe 1:7-8

The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’ 2Co 8:12 Rom 12:6-8 2Co 8:1-3 2Co 8:7-8 Luk 19:18-19

Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. Luk 19:20-22 Luk 15:29 Mal 3:14-15 Ezk 18:25-29 Jer 2:31 Isa 58:3 Jer 44:16-18 Job 21:14-15 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’ 2Ti 1:6-7 Rom 8:15 2Sa 6:9-10 Isa 57:11 Pro 26:13 Rev 21:8

‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed. Mat 18:32 Job 15:5-6 Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest. Deu 23:19-20 Jud 1:15 Luk 19:22-23 Rom 3:19

Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. Luk 19:24 Luk 10:42 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Luk 8:18 Mat 13:12 Mrk 4:25 Luk 19:25-26 Jhn 15:2 Luk 10:42 Rev 2:5 Luk 16:1-3 And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Mat 8:12 Heb 6:7-8 Mat 13:50 Mat 22:13 Rev 3:15-16 Jud 1:13 Tit 3:14 Jer 15:1-2

The Sheep and the Goats

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. Rev 1:7 2Th 1:7-8 Mat 19:28 Jud 1:14 Mrk 8:38 Mat 16:27 Jhn 5:27-29 Psa 9:7 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Mal 3:18 Mat 13:49 2Co 5:10 Psa 98:9 Ezk 34:17-22 Mat 3:12 Psa 96:13 Jhn 10:14 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. Psa 100:3 Psa 45:9 Jhn 10:26-28 Jhn 21:15-17 Psa 110:1 Act 2:34-35 Psa 95:7 Eph 1:20

Then 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. 1Pe 1:19-20 Jas 2:5 Rev 21:7 Rev 13:8 1Pe 1:3-5 Luk 12:32 Rev 17:8 Mat 20:23 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 1Jn 3:16-19 Jas 2:15-16 Deu 15:7-11 Ezk 18:16 Ezk 18:7 Heb 13:16 Jas 1:27 Heb 13:1-3 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’ Jas 1:27 2Ti 1:16-18 Heb 13:3 Jas 5:14-15 Act 20:35 Jas 2:14-16 Heb 10:34 Act 28:8-9

Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? Mat 6:3 1Ch 29:14 1Pe 5:5-6 Isa 64:6 1Co 15:10 Pro 15:33 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’

And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ Pro 19:17 Pro 14:31 Mat 10:42 Mrk 9:41 1Pe 1:22 Mat 18:5-6 Gal 5:6 Mat 10:40

Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 2Pe 2:4 Jud 1:6-7 2Th 1:9 Mat 13:42 Gal 3:10-13 Jhn 8:44 Mat 7:23 Rev 20:10-15 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, Jas 2:15-24 1Co 16:22 2Th 1:8 Jhn 5:23 Mat 12:30 1Jn 3:14-17 1Jn 4:20 Amo 6:6 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

And they too will reply, ‘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?’ Luk 10:29 Mat 7:22 Jer 2:35 Mal 1:6 Mal 2:17 Mal 3:13 Mat 25:24-27 1Sa 15:13-15

Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’ Pro 21:13 Pro 17:5 Mat 25:40 Pro 14:31 Act 9:5 1Jn 3:12-20 1Jn 5:1-3 Psa 105:15

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Dan 12:2 Jhn 5:29 Jhn 3:36 Rev 21:8 Rev 20:15 2Th 1:9 Rom 6:23 Rom 5:21
