Matthew 25:1-13 - The Parable Of The Ten Virgins

¹ Then, will the kingdom of the heavens become like unto, ten virgins, who, taking their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom. ² Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent. ³ For, the foolish - though they took, their torches, took not with them, oil: ⁴ But, the prudent, took oil in their vessels, with their torches. ⁵ Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.

⁶ And, at midnight, an outcry hath been made - Lo! the bridegroom! Be going forth to meet him!

⁷ Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches. ⁸ And, the foolish, unto the prudent, said - Give us of your oil, because, our torches, are going out.

⁹ But the prudent, answered, saying - Lest once, by any means, there be not enough for us and you, be going rather unto them that sell, and buy for yourselves

¹⁰ But, as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and, they who were ready, went in with him, into the marriage-feast, and, the door was locked.

¹¹ But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying - Lord! Lord! open unto us!

¹² And, he, answering, said - Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.

¹³ Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.
