The parable of the ten virgins
~
>Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
>which took their lamps,
>and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
~
>And five of them were wise,
>and five were foolish.
~
>They that were foolish took their lamps,
>and took no oil with them:
~
>But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
~
>While the bridegroom tarried,
>they all slumbered and slept.
>And at midnight there was a cry made,
>Behold,
>the bridegroom cometh;
>go ye out to meet him.
~
>Then all those virgins arose,
>and trimmed their lamps.
>And the foolish said unto the wise,
>Give us of your oil;
>for our lamps are gone out.
>But 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.
~
>And 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.
~
>Afterward came also the other virgins,
>saying,
>Lord,
>Lord,
>open to us.
~
>But he answered and said,
>Verily I say unto you,
>I know you not.
~
>Watch therefore,
>for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
