* »
Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom .
*
Five of them were foolish ,
and five were wise .
*
For when the foolish took their lamps ,
they took no oil with them ;
*
but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps .
*
While the bridegroom was delayed ,
they all slumbered and slept .
*
But at midnight there was a cry :
Behold ,
the bridegroom !
Come out to meet him .
*
Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps .
*
And the foolish said to the wise ,
Give us some of your oil ,
for our lamps are going out .
*
But the wise replied ,
No ,
there may not be enough for both us and you ;
go rather to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves .
*
And while they went to buy ,
the bridegroom came ,
and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding ;
and the door was shut .
*
Afterward the other virgins came also ,
saying ,
Lord ,
lord ,
open to us !
*
But he replied ,
Truly ,
I say to you ,
I do not know you .
*
Therefore keep watch ,
for you know neither the day nor the hour .
