Matthew 25:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’

12 But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

14 For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.

15 To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
