WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE
If you wanted to know more about the Kingdom of
Heaven, who would you ask?
Jesus of course!
This Kingdom of Heaven Bible verses study includes many FAQ’s about the Kingdom of Heaven and the answers are given in the Words of Jesus from the Gospels. Also included are some references to the Kingdom from other books of the Bible.
Some people refer to our Lord’s Kingdom as the Kingdom of Heaven and others call it the Kingdom of God. You may notice as you read through this study, that Matthew’s preference is the Kingdom of Heaven,
while Mark, Luke, John, and Paul, largely choose to call it the
Kingdom of God.
To make this apparent, in this study, the references
to the
Kingdom of Heaven
are in red and the references to the
Kingdom of God
are in green.
Let
us seek within the Bible for TRUTH ...
If you’ve read our study on
Heaven and Hell, you
know that the
Kingdom of God
is a realm. That’s why Jesus explained that it’s
not a place you can see, or a place that is here or there, but the
Kingdom of God
is inside of you.
HERE IS WISDOM
|
Luke 17:20-21
And when He was questioned of the Pharisees, when the
Kingdom of God
should come,
He answered
them and said,
The
Kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of
God
IS WITHIN YOU ... |
Keeping this in mind,
let us continue our study ...
The references to the Kingdom from the Gospels are
collected in groups. All the cross referencing has been done for you,
so sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey into the realm of our
Father’s Kingdom!
What did Jesus mean when He said, The Kingdom is at
hand?
|
Mark 1:14-15
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came
into Galilee,
preaching the Gospel of the
Kingdom of God, And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the
Kingdom of God
is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
|
It’s always important to know who Jesus was talking
to or talking about when you’re considering the words of scripture. In
this passage, Jesus was talking to the Jewish people in Galilee, and
when He said, The time is fulfilled,
He was talking about the time of the Jews. The old covenant, or Old
Testament, had ended, or been completed. The Jewish people were given
a certain amount of time and then their Messiah (Jesus) came.
There is a time period
mentioned numerous times in the Bible known as the "Time of the
Gentiles" ... It is the period of time which is after Jesus' death but
before the End Times which is a time where Gentiles (Individuals from
any nation other than Israel) have been given the opportunity to
accept Jesus as their Savior ... It is believed that the "Time of the
Gentiles" would be the same amount of time as the Jewish time period.
You can learn more about
this in this study.

WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE PURPOSE
The words,
at hand
means near
in time.
Well, nobody knows when their own lifetime expires,
or when exactly the end of time as we know it will arrive, so we
should all live as though the Kingdom is very near, because in fact,
the time we have on earth to live a lifestyle that will bring us into
His Kingdom is indeed short. Remember, a lifetime is just an instant,
compared to eternity. Jesus’ perspective is eternity, ours is just a
mere few years.
To look at this from another point of view,
at hand
also means
is here! If
you scroll back up to the very first scripture in this study of the
Kingdom, Jesus said,
THE Kingdom OF GOD
IS
WITHIN YOU
Sooooooooo it appears that the
Kingdom is a Spiritual realm that can be within you.
You live in the realm of Heaven when you walk in the
footsteps of Jesus. It’s a spiritual realm that we inherit as
believers, and as you know, an inheritance is received at the death of
the testator. The testator of the inheritance of the Kingdom is
Christ, and His death released the Kingdom for us to abide in.
|
Matthew 3:1-2
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in
the wilderness of Judea, And saying, Repent ye: for the
Kingdom of
Heaven
is at hand. |
|
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the Kingdom
of Heaven
is at hand. |
|
Matthew 10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The
Kingdom of Heaven
is at hand. |
Preaching about the Kingdom ... This is what was shared ...
|
Luke 4:43
And He said unto them, I must preach the
Kingdom of God
to
other cities also: for therefore am I sent. |
|
Luke 8:1
And it came to pass afterward, that He went
throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad
tidings of the Kingdom of God:
and the twelve were with Him, |
|
Luke 9:2
And He sent them to preach the
Kingdom of God,
and to heal the sick. |
|
Luke 9:11
And the people, when they knew it, followed Him: and
He received them, and spake unto them of the
Kingdom of God,
and healed them that had need of healing. |
|
Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were (in effect) until John
(the Baptist): since that time the
Kingdom of God
is preached, and every man presseth into (contends with) (is affected by) it. |
(Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees.)
WHEN IS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES STUDY
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE PROPHECYWe are the disciples of this generation. Although
Jesus spoke against the hypocrites who preached on the streets for
pride and attention, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t preach the Kingdom
at all. There are many discreet and glorifying ways to preach our
Father’s Kingdom. Seek and ye shall find!
To whom does the Kingdom belong?
|
Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in
spirit: for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
|
Luke 6:20
And He lifted up his eyes on His disciples, and
said,
Blessed be ye poor:
for yours is the Kingdom of God. |
|
Matthew 5:10
Blessed are they which
are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
You must be as a child to attain the Kingdom.
|
Matthew 18:1-4
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying, Who is the greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven?
And Jesus called a little child
unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child, the same is greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
|
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
There’s a big difference between being childish and
being as a child.
Being childish is being ignorant, or without TRUTH, however, being as
a child is being innocent and readily accepting of the TRUTH with an open
heart.
Who may, and who may not enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
|
Matthew 5:20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
|
Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. |
|
Matthew 21:31
Whether of them twain did the will of his father?
They say unto Him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto
you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
Kingdom of God
before you. |
|
Matthew 21:43
Therefore say I unto you, The
Kingdom of God
shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof. |
|
Matthew 23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut
up the
Kingdom of Heaven
against men: for ye
neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are
entering to go in. |
|
Mark 12:32-34
And the scribe said unto Him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
TRUTH: for there is one God; and there is none other but He: And
to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding,
and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love
his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly,
He said unto him, Thou art not far from the
Kingdom of God.
And no man after that durst ask Him any question. |
|
Luke 9:60,62
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
and preach the Kingdom of God.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking back, is fit for the
Kingdom of God. |
|
Luke 13:28-29
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the
Kingdom of God,
and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south,
and shall sit down in the Kingdom
of God. |
Who gets a better seat in the Kingdom?
|
Luke 14:8-14
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in
the highest room; lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden
of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give
this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest
room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest
room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee,
Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the
presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted. Then said He also to him that bade him, When
thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy
brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest
they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But
when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the
just. And when one of them that sat at meat with Him heard these
things, He said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in
the Kingdom of God. |
|
Mark 9:35
And He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
If any man desire to be
first, the
same shall be last
of all, and servant of
all. |
WHERE IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES STUDY
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE MESSAGE
Don’t miss the message in this. When
you obtain the Kingdom, be humble, because it’s better to be asked to
come and sit up front, than to assume you’ve attained a better seat
than you have, and be escorted to the back.
Also, don’t seek to do things for
those who would be compelled to “repay” you. If you are repaid for
something, what you’ve given, means nothing.
|
Mark 10:29-30
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no
man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the
Gospel's,
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands,
with persecutions; and in the
world to come
eternal life. |
If you have given up worldly things
for the Lord, you will gain much more in our Father’s Kingdom. You may
ask, If there is a
world to come,
how can the Kingdom already be here? Again, remember that the Kingdom
is a realm. There will also be a new Heaven and a new earth, but that
doesn’t mean that Heaven and earth don’t exist now. In the same way,
if you are a Christian, you have everlasting life, but it isn’t the
same as the life you have now, though you have both. You will have to
experience death, before you attain your new eternal life (though you
don’t just lie dormant and lifeless after your flesh expires). You can
read more about this in
Abraham’s Bosom. Now let’s get back to who’s who in the Kingdom.
|
Matthew 5:17-19
Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, he shall be called the
least
in the
Kingdom of Heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called
great
in the
Kingdom of Heaven. |
|
Matthew
11:11-12
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding
he that is least in the
Kingdom of
Heaven
is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until
now the Kingdom of Heaven
suffereth violence, and
the violent take it by force. |
Can the rich enter into the Kingdom?
|
Mark 10:17-25
And when He was gone forth
into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to Him, and
asked Him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and
mother. And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these
have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved
him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in Heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto
His disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into
the Kingdom
of God!
And the disciples were
astonished at His words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith
unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in
riches to enter into the
Kingdom of God!
It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the
Kingdom of God . |
Certainly there are wealthy people
who may obtain the Kingdom. But Jesus warns that you shouldn’t trust
in riches, because many rich people find it hard not to put their
wealth above their devotion to God.
What are the mysteries (hidden truths) of the
Kingdom?
Why did Jesus speak in parables?
WHO IS IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES STUDY
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE PARABLES
The parables that Jesus taught were
analogies, or situations that we can relate to our own lives. God
spoke through Isaiah, saying that people would see and hear His
messages, but not understand unless they opened their hearts. Jesus
spoke the same message. Sometimes you can read something and not
understand it, and when you least expect it, the meaning suddenly
becomes clear to you. If there are parables that you don’t understand,
don’t lose heart.
It’s very important that you never give up on trying
to understand. Sometimes we must learn certain things before others
are made clear, so if you’re sincere in your Faith, it may be that
there are other things that the Lord is working on in you, in your
individual walk of Faith, that need to be understood first. Everybody
is unique and the order in which people learn things is different for
everyone. And one more thing ... Nobody has ever read the Bible and
understood it all, first time through. Perhaps that’s why the
mysteries of the
Kingdom are called just that ...
mysteries. They are
hidden truths. One
must investigate them to figure them out! Perhaps determination is a
prerequisite of the Kingdom. Unbelievers will not care to discover the
mysteries
of the Kingdom. But to the believer, they are a gift. Understanding
the mysteries and applying them to your life, is like your admittance
to the Kingdom.
|
Isaiah 6:8-10
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And He
said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand
not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this
people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest
they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed |
|
Matthew 13:11
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to
know the mysteries
of the Kingdom of Heaven,
but to them it is not given. |
|
Mark 4:11
And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
mystery of the
Kingdom of God: but unto them that
are without (without faith), all these things are done in
parables
... |
|
Luke 8:10
And He said, Unto you it
is given to know the
mysteries of the
Kingdom of God:
but to others in
parables;
that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. |
|
Matthew
13:24-30
Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The
Kingdom of Heaven
is likened unto a man which sowed
good seed in his
field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the
householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow
good seed
in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said
unto them, An enemy hath done this.
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou
then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both
grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say
to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in
bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

The
good seed
are Christians. We’re all here
together, the good and the bad, but when judgment day arrives, the bad
will burn and the good will be gathered together.
|
Mark 4:30-32
And He said, Whereunto shall we liken
the
Kingdom of God?
or
with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of
mustard seed,
which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the
seeds that be in
the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater
than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of
the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
|
|
Mark 4:26-29
And He said, So is the
Kingdom of God, as if a man should
cast
seed into
the ground;
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the
seed
should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth
bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is
brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the
harvest is come. |
The
seed
is your Faith!
|
Matthew 13:52
Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
instructed unto the
Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth
out of his
treasure
things new and old. |
|
Matthew 13:44
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto
treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and
for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field. |
The Kingdom is like
treasure.
|
Matthew 13:33
Another parable spake He unto them; The
Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in
three
measures of meal, till the whole
was leavened. |
WHO ENTERS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES STUDY
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE WARNING
The
three
measures of meal represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Kingdom is hidden in them, and if they abide within you, then you
have the Kingdom within you, just as Jesus said, and will remain until
you are totally leavened (perfect) in God’s eyes.
|
Matthew
13:45-46
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he
had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he
had, and bought it. The Kingdom is like the finest
pearl. |
|
Matthew
13:47-48
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a net, that
was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when
it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the
good into vessels, but cast the bad away. This is the same
message as THE FIELD AND THE TARES. |
No bad is allowed in the
Kingdom.
|
Matthew
18:23-35
Therefore is the
Kingdom of Heaven
likened unto a certain
king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun
to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand
talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment
to be made.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that
servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the
debt.
But the same servant
went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an
hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat,
saying, Pay me that thou owest.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but
went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,
after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I
forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not
thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity
on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he
should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your
hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
|
Do unto others. Your reward in the
Kingdom awaits you.
|
Matthew
20:1-16
For the Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a man that is an householder, which
went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And
when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them
into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw
others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them;
Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he
went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about
the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and
saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto
him,
Because no man hath hired us. He
saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is
right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the
vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them
their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
And when they came that were hired
about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the
first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and
they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received
it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying,
These last have wrought but one hour,
and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and
heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do
thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that
thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto
thee.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
So the last shall be first, and the first last:
For many be called, but few chosen.

HOW TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES STUDY
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THE BIBLE DANGER
This
parable is such a great lesson. There are many people who go through
their entire lives with the good fortune of being Christian. Many from
childhood, were raised as Christians and others, early in life were
adopted into God's family. There are also many who don't find Jesus
until they're older, and some, don't seek Him until the very last
hour. If you're one who has followed the Christian path all your life,
this parable teaches not to be jealous of those lost sheep who weren't
found until the last hour. Be joyous for them. Praise His generosity.
God is good. He can do whatever He wants with His children.
You will always have your place.

Matthew
22:2-14
The Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a certain
king, which made a marriage for his son,
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the
wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants,
saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner:
my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come
unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one
to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his
servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the
king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and
destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Then saith he to his servants,
The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go
ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to
the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and
the wedding was furnished with guests.
And when the king came in to see the
guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he
saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding
garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants,
Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are called, but few are
chosen.
|
This is a great parable. Our Father
has prepared the Kingdom and invited His people (the Jewish people).
But they were too busy with the affairs of the world to accept His
invitation. They even killed His servants (the prophets and Jesus). So
He invited the people off the streets (the Gentiles). When the day
comes when God judges, those who have no wedding garment (faith in
Jesus Christ) will be rejected from the Kingdom.
|
Matthew
25:1-13
Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven
be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And
five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish
took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in
their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all
slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those
virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise
answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but
go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the
marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh.

Matthew
25:14-30
For the Kingdom of Heaven
is as a man traveling into
a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability; and
straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five
talents.
And likewise he that had received
two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the
lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that
had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained
beside them five talents more.
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant:
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other
talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew
thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and
gathering where thou hast not strawed:
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there
thou hast that is thine.
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have
not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with
usury. Take therefore the
talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that
which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
