Matthew 25:1-13

1ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likened unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, who tookG2983 their lampsG2985, and wentG1831 forthG1831 to meetG5222 the bridegroomG3566. 2And fiveG4002 of them wereG1510 foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 wereG1510 wiseG5429. 3For the foolishG3474, when they tookG2983 their lampsG2985, tookG2983 no oilG1637 with them: 4but the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 in their vessels with their lampsG2985. 5NowG1161 while the bridegroomG3566 tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6But at midnight there is a cry, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566! ComeG1831 ye forthG1831 to meetG529 him. 7Then all those virginsG3933 arose, and trimmed their lampsG2985. 8And the foolishG3474 saidG3004 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 us of your oilG1637; for our lampsG2985 are going out. 9But the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: goG4198 ye ratherG3123 to them that sellG4453, and buyG59 for yourselves. 10And while they wentG565 awayG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; and they that were readyG2092 wentG565 in with him to the marriageG1062 feastG1062: and the doorG2374 was shutG2808. 11Afterward cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to us. 12But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, I know you not. 13WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, for ye know not the dayG2250 nor the hourG5610.
