Matthew:25:1-13
acv@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to the bridegroom's gathering.
acv@Matthew:25:2 @ And five of them were wise, and five were foolish,
acv@Matthew:25:3 @ foolish women, who, having taken their lamps, took no olive oil with them.
acv@Matthew:25:4 @ But the wise took olive oil in their vessels with their lamps.
acv@Matthew:25:5 @ Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
acv@Matthew:25:6 @ But at midnight a shout occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go ye forth for his gathering.
acv@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all those virgins were roused, and put their lamps in order.
acv@Matthew:25:8 @ And the foolish said to the wise, Give us from your olive oil, because our lamps are going out.
acv@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there may not be enough for us and you. But go ye rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
acv@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut.
acv@Matthew:25:11 @ But afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
acv@Matthew:25:12 @ But having answered, he said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.
acv@Matthew:25:13 @ Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the son of man comes.
