¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and ^(A)the door was shut.

^25 (A)When once the Master of the house has risen up and ^(B)shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ^(C)‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ^(D)‘I do not know you, where you are from,’

Living Before God Our Father

¹³ Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

³⁶ and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. ^37 (A)Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

^44 (A)Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

I Am Coming Quickly

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

⁶ “And at midnight ^(A)a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom ^[a]is coming; go out to meet him!’

¹⁶ So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in ^(A)as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.
