Matthew 25:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 25:11

9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’

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.
