Matthew:25:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins ,
who took their lamps ,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom .
*
And five of them were wise ,
and five foolish .
*
They that foolish took their lamps ,
and 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 cometh ;
go ye out to meet him .
*
Then all those virgins arose ,
and trimmed their lamps .
*
And the foolish said to the wise ,
Give us of your oil ;
for our lamps are gone out . (

gone out :
or ,
going out (:

*
But the wise answered ,
saying ,;
lest there be not enough for us and you :
but go ye rather to them that sell ,
and buy for yourselves .
*
And while they were going to buy ,
the bridegroom came ;
and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage :
and the door was shut .
*
Afterward came also the other virgins ,
saying ,
Lord ,
Lord ,
open to us .
*
But he answered and said ,
Verily I say to you ,
I know you not .
*
Watch therefore ,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh .
