Matthew 25:1-4

1Jesus said, ‘I will tell you another story to show what the kingdom of heaven is like. There were ten young women who were going to a marriage party. They took their lamps with them and they went to meet the man who was marrying a wife.

2Five of these young women were silly. The other five young women were wise.

3The silly women took their lamps with them, but they did not take any extra oil with them.

4The five wise women took jars of oil with their lamps.
