Goodspeed(i)
44 Therefore you must be ready too, for the Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not expect him.
45 "Who then will be the faithful, thoughtful slave whom his master put in charge of his household, to give the members of it their supplies at the proper time?
46 Blessed is that slave if his master when he returns finds him doing it.
47 I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
48 But if he is a bad slave and says to himself, 'My master is going to stay a long time,'
49 and begins to beat the other slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards,
50 that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know
51 and will cut him in two, and put him with the hypocrites, to weep and gnash his teeth.
25 1 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Now five of them were foolish and five were sensible.
3 For the foolish ones brought their lamps but brought no oil with them,
4 but the sensible ones with their lamps brought oil in their flasks.
5 As the bridegroom was slow in coming, they all grew drowsy and fell asleep.
6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out and meet him!'
7 Then all the bridesmaids awoke, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'
10 But while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was closed.
11 Afterward the other bridesmaids came and said, 'Sir! Sir! Open the door for us!'
12 But he answered, 'I tell you, I do not know you!'
13 So you must be on the watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour.
