Matthew 25:1-6 ▼

1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.

2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

3 When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take oil with them;

4 but the wise ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

5 When the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6 “In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’
