You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow? then why did you not put my silver on the [broker's] table, and when I came I should have had the same, with interest? And he said to those standing by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him that has ten minas,??25 and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas,??26 for I tell you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away; but those my enemies that wished me not to reign over them, bring hither and kill them before me.

And the servant came and reported to his lord these things. Then the master of the house; being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and maimed, and blind, and lame. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you commanded, and yet there is room. And the Lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; for I tell you that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper.

Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; and five of them were foolish, and five wise. The foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them; read more.
but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps. And while the bridegroom delayed, all slumbered and slept; but at midnight there was a cry, Behold the bridegroom; go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their own lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [No]; lest there be not enough for us and you; go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy the bridegroom came; and the ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut. And afterwards the other virgins came, and said, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, I tell you truly I know you not. Watch, therefore, for you know not the day nor the hour. For, as a man going abroad called his servants, and delivered to them his estates; to one he gave five talents [$5,000], to another two [$2,000], and to another one [$1,000]; to each according to his ability, and immediately went abroad. And he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five; in like manner, also, he that received the two gained two others; but he that received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord's money. And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and had a settlement with them. And he that received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you committed to me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents. His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. And he that received the two talents also came to him and said, Lord, you committed to me two talents; behold, I have gained two others. His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed, and gathering where you have not scattered, and being afraid I went away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is yours. And his Lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather whence I have not scattered? And you ought then to have given my money to the brokers, and at my coming, I should have received my own with interest. Take his talent, therefore, from him, and give it to him that has ten talents; for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away; and cast the unprofitable servant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

The kingdom of heaven is like a man, a king, who made a wedding for his son. And he sent his servants to call the invited to the wedding, and they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell the invited, Behold, I have prepared my supper, my oxen and fatted creatures are killed, and all things are ready; come to the wedding. read more.
But they neglected it, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise; and the rest took his servants and treated them injuriously, and killed them. And the king was angry, and sent his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city. Then he said to his servants, The wedding indeed is ready, but the invited were not worthy. Go, therefore, to the crossings of the ways, and invite all you find to the wedding. And those servants went out into the highways, and collected all whom they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests. And the king coming in to see the guests observed there a man who had not on a wedding garment, and said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and cast him into the darkness outside. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few chosen.

And he said to them, Does a light come to be put under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], or under a bed? and not to be put in a candlestick? For there is nothing hid that shall not be made manifest, nor any thing concealed that shall not come to light. If any one has ears to hear, let him hear. read more.
And he said to them, Consider what you hear. With what measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and more shall be given you. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away. And he said, So is the kingdom of God as a man casts the seeds into the earth, and sleeps and wakes, night and day, and the seed germinates, and grows he knows not how. The earth produces spontaneously, first the stalk, then the head, then the full wheat in the head. And when the wheat delivers itself, he immediately sends out the sickle, because the harvest has come. And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? or with what parable shall I present it? It is like a mustard seed, which when sown in the earth is the least of all seeds on the earth; but when sown, it comes up, and becomes the greatest of all plants, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can dwell under its shade. And with many such parables spoke he the word to them as they could hear; but without a parable spoke he not to them; and, privately, he explained all things to his disciples.

And he said, What is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it? It is like a mustard seed which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches. Again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? read more.
It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened.

And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field; and while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed poisonous darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away. But when the stalk grew up and bore fruit, then the poisonous darnel appeared. read more.
And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence then has it poisonous darnel? And he said to them, An enemy has done this. And they said to him, Do you wish us to go and take them out? And he said, No; lest in taking out the poisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it; let both grow together till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in bundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God as a man casts the seeds into the earth, and sleeps and wakes, night and day, and the seed germinates, and grows he knows not how. The earth produces spontaneously, first the stalk, then the head, then the full wheat in the head. read more.
And when the wheat delivers itself, he immediately sends out the sickle, because the harvest has come.

the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and the reapers are angels. As, therefore, poisonous darnel is collected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the world. read more.

Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the poisonous darnel of the field. And he answered and said to them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one; read more.
