Matthew 25:1-13

¹Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. ²And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ³They that were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: ⁴but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Come ye forth to meet him. ⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. ⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. ⁹But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. ¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. ¹³Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
