13 Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.[a]
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves[b] and entrusted his property to them. 15 To[c] one he gave five talents,[d] to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

- Matthew 25:13 tc Most later mss (C3 Γ ƒ13 1241 1424c M) add here “in which the Son of Man is coming” (ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται, en |ē ho huios tou anthrōpou erchetai), reproducing almost verbatim the last line of Matt 24:44. The longer reading thus appears to be an explanatory expansion and should not be considered authentic. The earlier and better witnesses (P35 א A B C* D L W Δ Θ ƒ1 33 565 892 1424* al lat co) lack this phrase.
- Matthew 25:14 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
- Matthew 25:15 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
