Matthew 25:1-13 (King James Version)

Matthew 25

 ¹Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 ²And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

 ³They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

 ⁴But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 ⁵While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 ⁶And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 ⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

 ⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

 ⁹But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

 ¹⁰And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

 ¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

 ¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 ¹³Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
