Matthew 25:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 25:12

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and ^athe door was shut.

11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ^a‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’

12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ^aI do not know you.’

13 ^a“Watch therefore, for you ^bknow neither the day nor the hour¹ in which the Son of Man is coming.

The Parable of the Talents

14 ^a“For the kingdom of heaven is ^blike a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, ^ato each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.
