Matthew 25:1-6

1“When the end comes, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids. They took their oil lamps and went to meet the groom.

2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

3The foolish bridesmaids took their lamps, but they didn’t take any extra oil.

4The wise bridesmaids, however, took along extra oil for their lamps.

5Since the groom was late, all the bridesmaids became drowsy and fell asleep.

6“At midnight someone shouted, ‘The groom is here! Come to meet him!’
