Matthew 25:2-12
2
And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
4
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5
Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6
But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9
But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10
And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
