Matthew

  1. 25:1  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
  2. 2  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
  3. 3  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
  4. 4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
  5. 5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
  6. 6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
  7. 7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
  8. 8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
  9. 9  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
  10. 10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
  11. 11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
  12. 12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
  13. 13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
