Matthew 25:6-13

English Standard Version

⁶ But ^(A)at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ ⁷ Then all those virgins rose 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, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ ¹⁰ And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and ^(C)those who were ready went in with him to ^(D)the marriage feast, and ^(E)the door was shut. ¹¹ Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ^(F)‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ ^12 (G)But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, ^(H)I do not know you.’ ^13 (I)Watch therefore, for you ^(J)know neither the day nor the hour.
