* Then shall the kingdom of Heaven be likened to ten virgins , who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom . * And five of them were wise , and five were foolish . * The foolish ones took their lamps , but took no oil with them . * But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps . * While the bridegroom tarried , they all slumbered and slept . * And at midnight there was a cry made , Behold , the bridegroom comes ! Go out to meet him . * Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps . * And the foolish said to the wise , Give us [some ] of your oil , for our lamps have gone out . * But the wise answered , saying , [No ], lest there be not enough for us and you . But rather go 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 marriage , and the door was shut . * Afterwards the other virgins came also , saying , Lord , Lord , open to us . * But he answered and said , Truly I say to you , I do not know you . * Therefore watch , for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of man comes .
