Matthew 25:2-13

2FiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG1510 foolishG3474, andG2532 fiveG4002 were wiseG5429. 3TheG3588 foolishG3474 ones tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985 but did not take alongG2983G3326G1438 any extra oilG1637. 4ButG1161 theG3588 wiseG5429 ones tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 flasksG30 along withG3326 theirG1438 lampsG2985. 5When theG3588 bridegroomG3566 was delayedG5549, they all became drowsyG3956G3573 andG2532 fell asleepG2518.

At midnightG3319G3571 the cryG2906 rang outG1096: ‘Here isG2400 theG3588 bridegroomG3566! Come outG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846!’

7ThenG5119 allG3956 theG3588 virginsG3933 woke upG1453 andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG1438 lampsG2985. 8TheG3588 foolish onesG3474 saidG2036 to theG3588 wiseG5429, ‘GiveG1325 usG1473 some ofG1537 yourG4771 oilG1637; ourG1473 lampsG2985 are going outG4570.’

9‘NoG3756,’ saidG611 theG3588 wiseG5429G3004 ones, ‘orG3379 there may not be enoughG3361G714 for both usG1473 andG2532 youG4771. InsteadG3123, goG4198 toG4314 those whoG3588 sellG4453 oil andG2532 buyG59 some for yourselvesG1438.’

10ButG1161 while theyG846 were on their wayG565 to buyG59 it, theG3588 bridegroomG3566 arrivedG2064. Those whoG3588 were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 theG3588 wedding banquetG1062, andG2532 theG3588 doorG2374 was shutG2808.

11LaterG5305 theG1161G3588 otherG3062 virginsG3933 arrivedG2064 andG2532 saidG3004, ‘LordG2962, lordG2962, openG455 the door for usG1473!’

12ButG1161 he repliedG611G2036, ‘TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, I do not knowG3756G1492 youG4771.’

13ThereforeG3767 keep watchG1127, becauseG3754 you do not knowG3756G1492 theG3588 dayG2250 or theG3588 hourG5610.1
