Q20:
Matthew 25:14  For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a
far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his
goods.

Matthew 25:15 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.

Matthew 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made [them] other five talents.

Matthew 25:17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other
two.

Matthew 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth,
and hid his lord's money.

Matthew 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them.

Matthew 25:20 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.

Matthew 25:21 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.

Matthew 25:22 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.

Matthew 25:23 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.

Matthew 25:24 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:

Matthew 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.

Matthew 25:26 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:

Matthew 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with
usury.

Matthew 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him
which hath ten talents.

Matthew 25:29 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.

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Q21:
Mark 4:26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
seed into the ground;

Mark 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should
spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

Mark 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade,
then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Mark 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
the sickle, because the harvest is come.

Q22:
Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Mark 13:34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left
his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work,
and commanded the porter to watch.

Mark 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Q23:
Luke 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed
five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

Luke 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both.
Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Luke 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave
most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Q24:
Luke 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.

Luke 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and
when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked
[on him], and passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],

Luke 10:34 And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him.

Luke 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and
gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Luke 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him
that fell among the thieves?

Luke 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Q25:
Luke 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and
shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three
loaves;

Luke 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
nothing to set before him?

Luke 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door
is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give
thee.

Luke 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he
is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as
many as he needeth.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Luke 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Luke 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he
give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a
serpent?

Luke 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit
to them that ask him?

Q26:
Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a
certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

Luke 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because
I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

Luke 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and
build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up
for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.

Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast
provided?

Luke 12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God.

Q27:
Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;

Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when
he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may
open unto him immediately.

Luke 12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third
watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.

Luke 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what
hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his
house to be broken through.

Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour
when ye think not.
