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