11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Parable of the Talents.
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.

3 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
