1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be like ten virgins, who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the groom and the bride. 2 But five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3 For the five foolish, having brought their lamps, did not take oil with them. 4 Yet truly, the prudent ones brought the oil, in their containers, with the lamps. 5 Since the bridegroom was delayed, they all fell asleep, and they were sleeping. 6 But in the middle of the night, a cry went out: ‘Behold, the groom is arriving. Go out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps. 8 But the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give to us from your oil, for our lamps are being extinguished.’ Matthew 25:1-8, Catholic Public Domain Version.
