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.

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. But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory, and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and he shall place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and give you drink? 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 come to you? And the king shall answer and say to them, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me. Then shall he say to those on his left hand, Depart from me accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; a stranger, and you took me not in; sick and in prison and you visited me not. Then shall they also answer and say, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you? Then he shall answer them saying, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have not done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have not done it to me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.
For as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.read more.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of heaven to the other.

I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things shall be accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no man knows, nor the angels of heaven; but my Father only. And as the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark, and knew not till the flood came and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Then two shall be in the field; one is taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken and the other left. Watch, therefore, for you know not on what day your Lord comes, But know this, that if the householder had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken into. Therefore be you also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom the Lord has placed over his family to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his Lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.
I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things shall be accomplished.
