1 THEN the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride. 2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 And the foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them. 4 But the wise ones took oil in the vessels with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to greet him. 7 Then all the virgins got up and fixed their lamps. 8 And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
