TSK · Matthew 25:5

¶ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

‹After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.›

And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

‹But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;›

¶ Then began he to speak to the people this parable; ‹A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.›

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
