ylt @Matthew:25:1 @'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins , who , having taken their lamps , went forth to meet the bridegroom ; ylt @Matthew:25:2 @and five of them were prudent , and five foolish ; ylt @Matthew:25:3 @they who were foolish having taken their lamps , did not take with themselves oil ; ylt @Matthew:25:4 @and the prudent took oil in their vessels , with their lamps . ylt @Matthew:25:5 @'And the bridegroom tarrying , they all nodded and were sleeping , ylt @Matthew:25:6 @and in the middle of the night a cry was made , Lo , the bridegroom doth come ; go ye forth to meet him . ylt @Matthew:25:7 @'Then rose all those virgins , and trimmed their lamps , ylt @Matthew:25:8 @and the foolish said to the prudent , Give us of your oil , because our lamps are going out ; ylt @Matthew:25:9 @and the prudent answered , saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you , go ye rather unto those selling , and buy for yourselves . ylt @Matthew:25:10 @'And while they are going away to buy , the bridegroom came , and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts , and the door was shut ; ylt @Matthew:25:11 @and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins , saying , Sir , sir , open to us ; ylt @Matthew:25:12 @and he answering said , Verily I say to you , I have not known you . ylt @Matthew:25:13 @'Watch therefore , for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come .
