The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 47: Matthew: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Matthew
25:23. His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant:
because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee
over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
25:24. But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I
know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and
gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25:25. And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold
here thou hast that which is thine.
25:26. And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not
strewed.
25:27. Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the
bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
25:28. Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that
hath ten talents.
25:29. For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound:
but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be
taken away.
25:30. And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior
darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
25:31. And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
25:32. And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he
shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the
sheep from the goats:
25:33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
his left.
25:34. Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand:
Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world.
25:35. For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you
gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
25:36. Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in
prison, and you came to me.
25:37. Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see
thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?
25:38. Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and
covered thee?
25:39. Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?
25:40. And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as
long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
25:41. Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand:
Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared
for the devil and his angels.
25:42. For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and
you gave me not to drink.
25:43. I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me
not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
25:44. Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see
thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and
did not minister to thee?
