*
Then the kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom .
*
And five of them were wise ,
and five foolish .
*
Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them ,
*
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps .
*
But while the bridegroom was delayed ,
they all nodded and fell asleep .
*
And at midnight there was a cry :
Behold ,
the bridegroom is coming ;
go out to meet him !
*
Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lamps .
*
And the foolish said to the wise ,
Give us some of your oil ,
for our lamps are going out .
*
But the wise answered ,
saying ,
No ,
lest there should not be enough for us and you ;
but go rather to those who sell ,
and buy for yourselves .
*
And while they went to buy ,
the bridegroom came ,
and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast ;
and the door was shut .
*
Afterward 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 .
*
Watch therefore ,
for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes .
