noyes - Matthew:25:1-13

noyes@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

noyes@Matthew:25:2 @ And five of them were foolish, and five wise.

noyes@Matthew:25:3 @ For the foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them.

noyes@Matthew:25:4 @ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

noyes@Matthew:25:5 @ And as the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

noyes@Matthew:25:6 @ But at midnight there was a cry, Lo! the bridegroom! go out to meet him.

noyes@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

noyes@Matthew:25:8 @ And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.

noyes@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.

noyes@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

noyes@Matthew:25:11 @ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.

noyes@Matthew:25:12 @ But he answering said, Truly do I say to you, I know you not,

noyes@Matthew:25:13 @ Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
