, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season?

24:46. Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall
find so doing.

24:47. Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods.

24:48. But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long
a coming:

24:49. And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and
drink with drunkards:

24:50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not
and at an hour that he knoweth not:

24:51. And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the
hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 25

The parable of the ten virgins and of the talents. The description of
the last judgment.

25:1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who

25:12. But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.

25:13. Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
