Chapter 25: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1At that time the dominion of the universes will be resembled ten maidensa whosoever having taken the lamps of ╓them╖ ┌themselves┐ went them forth into ╓meeting╖ ┌engagement┐ of the bridegroom; 2moreover out of them {the ones} five were ╓sensible and the ones five stupid╖┌stupid and {the ones} five sensible┐. 3╓Whosoever {the ones}╖ ┌For the ones┐ stupid, having taken the lamps of them, took not olive oil with themselves; 4moreover the ones sensible took olive oil within the containers ╓of them╖ with the lamps of ╓them╖ ┌themselves┐.
5Moreover {upon} the bridegroom delaying {the ones} all dozed, and they were lying asleep. 6Moreover {upon} a middle night a shouting has become, lo the bridegroom ╓is coming╖, come you forth into a meeting of him.
7At that time those, all the maidens, were arisen, and they equippedb the lamps ╓of them╖. 8Moreover the ones stupid said to the ones sensible, Give you freely to us out of the oil of you because our lamps are being extinguishing. 9Moreover the ones sensible replied saying, ╓Whether at any time╖ ┌By no means┐ it might suffice us, and moreover more exceedingly to you proceed you to the ones trading, and buy you {for} yourselvesc.
10Moreover {upon} them going forth to have bought the bridegroom came, and the ones ready entered with him into the weddingsd, and the entrance was closed.
11Moreover afterwards the remaining maidens also come saying, Sir, Sir open you to us.
12Moreover the one, having replied, said. Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
13Then be you fully awake because you do not know the day not even the momente ╓within which the son of the humanity is coming╖.
14For even as a person journeying afar called the slaves his own, and he handed over to them the possessions of him; 15and indeed to whom he gave five talentsf, moreover to whom {he gave} two {talents}, moreover to whom {he gave} one {talent}, to each in accordance with the power, his own and he immediately journeyed afar.
16╓Moreover the╖ ┌The┐ one, having received five talents having been proceeded, worked within them, and he ╓made╖ ┌gained {the ones}┐ five other ╓talents╖; 17Likewise ╓also╖ the one {having received } the ones two, ╓he also╖ ┌he┐ gained {the ones} two other. 18Moreover the one, having received the one {talent}, having gone forth, dug ╓within the╖ ┌a┐ land, and he ╓concealed╖ ┌hid┐ the silver coin of the sir of him.
19Moreover after a long time the sir of those, the slaves, came, and he takes up together an accountg with them. 20And the one, having come forward having received the five talents, brought forward five other talents saying, Sir you handed over to me five talents, Observe you! I have gained five other talents upon them.
21Moreover the sir of him was asserting to him, Well done! Good and completely confident and totally trustworthy slave you were completely confident and totally trustworthy onto a few, I will appoint you upon {the ones} many, enter you into the joy of the sir of you.
22Moreover also the one, having come forward ╓having received╖ the two talents, said, Sir you handed over to me two talents. Observe you! I gained two other talents ╓upon them╖.
23The sir of him was asserting to him, Well done! Good and completely confident and totally trustworthy slave you were completely confident and totally trustworthy onto {the ones} few, I will appoint you upon {the ones} many, enter you into the joy of the sir of you.
24Moreover also the one, having come forward having had received the one talent, said, Sir I knew you experientially that you are an austere person, reaping where you not sowed, gathering whence you not dispersed. 25And I, having been terrified going forth, hid the talent of you within the land. Observe you! You have the one possessed by you.
26Morever the sir of him, having replied, said to him, Base and sluggish slave! You had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not disperse. 27Then it was needful for you to have depositedh the silver ╓coin╖ ┌coins┐ with the banker, and I, having come, would get back the one possessed by me with an interest. 28Then lift you up the talent from him, and give you to the one having ten talents; 29for it will be freely given to the one having all, and he will be abounding; moreover from the one not having, also which he has will be lifted up from him. 30And cast you forth the useless slave into the darkness, the one outer, there the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be.
31Moreover whenever the son of the humanity might come within the renown of him and all the ╓sacred╖ heavenly messengers with him, he will sit down upon the throne of a renown of him; 32and ╓he will be gather in front of him all the nations╖ ┌all the nations will be gathered in front of him┐, and he will separate them from one another even as a shepherd separates the sheep from the kids. 33And indeed he will stand the sheep from {the ones} on the right hand of him and moreover the small kids from {the ones} on the left hand.
34At that time the king will say to the ones from {the ones} on the right hand of him, Come the ones having had been praised of the father of me, and inherit you the dominion having had been prepared to you from a founding of a world-order; 35for I hungered, and you freely gave me to have eaten; I thirsted and you furnished me liquid; I was a foreigner, and you gathered me; 36{I was} lightly clad and you enwrapped me, I ailed, and you looked upon me, I was within prison and you came towards me.
37At that time the ones righteous will reply to him saying, At what time did we observe you hungering, and we nourished; or thirsting, and we furnished {you} liquid; 38moreover at what time did we observe you a foreigner, and we gathered; or {the one being} lightly clad, and we enwrapped; 39moreover a what time did we observe you ╓weak╖ ┌ailing┐ or within prison and we came ailing you?
40And the king, having replied, will say to them, Truly I say to you onto {the one} as much as you did to one of these the brothers of me, the ones least, you did {it} to me.
41At that time he will say to the ones from {the ones} on the left hand proceed you from me the ones having been accursed into the fire, the one lasting for an eon, the one having been prepared to the one slanderous and the universal messengers of him. 42For I hungered, and you did not give freely to me to have eaten; I thirsted, and you did not furnished me liquid; 43I was a foreigner, and you did not gather me; {I was} lightly clad and you did not enwrapped me, {I was} weak and within prison, and you did not look upon me.
44And at that time they will replay saying, Sir! At what time did we observe you hungering or thirsting or a foreigner or {being} lightly clad or {being} weak or within prison, and we did not serve you?
45At that time he will reply to them saying, Truly I say to you onto {the one} as much as you did not do to one of these, the ones least, nor did you do {it} me.
46And these will go forth into a chastisement lasting for an eon, moreover the ones righteous into a real and genuine life lasting for an eon.

aThe Greek is παρθένος, parthenos, meaning a maiden beyond puberty and unmarried and may be presumed to be a virgin in the Israelite culture.
bThe Greek is κοσμέω, kosmeō, meaning order, prepare, adorn, equip; contextually equip the torches since the maidens had been dozing or asleep.
cThe Greek is 3rd person plural reflexive however the context here is 2nd person plural.
dThe Greek is plural; thus is there an implication that the bridegroom is a spirit leader since this is about the dominion of the universes. Thus is he marrying each of the maidens rather than the common interpretation of a single marriage with the maidens participating in a single wedding from an earthling perspective? If so, then each person is united to the spirit leader in the spirit realm.
eThe Greek is ὥρα, hōra meaning any period of time, season, year, fitting time; thus contextually the moment, since the time implied is indeterminate and will happen quickly.
fA talent was a sum of money by weight which varied with political districts, it was not a coin. Thus the amount handed out is relative to each of the slaves. If this was applied to each person in the form of abilities, the question arises did we come into the earth plane to learn something more as each person has a different set of abilities and how are we using them to improve our spiritual selves which is the only thing we take from this plane.
gThe Greek is λόγος, logos, meaning a word however here the meaning is word or an accounting of what happened with the possessions entrusted to the slaves while the owner was away.
hThe Greek is βάλλω, ballō, meaning cast, contextually English to deposit.
