Matthew 25:6-12
New King James Version
6 “And at midnight (A)a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and (B)trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 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.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and (C)the door was shut.
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, (D)‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, (E)I do not know you.’
