But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. And as the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, Lo! the bridegroom! go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us. But he answering said, Truly do I say to you, I know you not, Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
