And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.

Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,

Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:

and in the middle of the night there was a cry, The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:

but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast.

And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then they will fast.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.

And the light of a candle shall be seen in thee no more; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
