Matthew 25:2-13
2FiveG4002 of them were foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 were 1prudentG5429. 3For when the foolishG3474 tookG2983 their lampsG2985, they tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 with them, 4but the 2prudentG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 in flasksG30 along with their lampsG2985. 5NowG1161 while the bridegroomG3566 was delayingG5549, they allG3956 gotG3573 drowsyG3573 and began to sleepG2518. 6But at midnightG3319G3571 there was a shoutG2906, ‘BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566! ComeG1831 out to meetG529 him.’ 7ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 roseG1453 and trimmedG2885 their lampsG2985. 8The foolishG3474 saidG3004 to the prudentG5429, ‘GiveG1325 us someG1537 of your oilG1637, for our lampsG2985 are goingG4570 out.’ 9But the 3prudentG5429 answeredG611, ‘NoG3379, there will not be enoughG714 for us and you too; goG4198 insteadG3123 to the dealersG4453 and buyG59 some for yourselvesG1438.’ 10And while they were goingG565 awayG565 to makeG59 the purchaseG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064, and thoseG3588 who were 4readyG2092 wentG1525 in with him to 5the weddingG1062 feastG1062; and 6the doorG2374 was shutG2808. 11LaterG5305 the otherG3062 virginsG3933 alsoG2532 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘7LordG2962, lordG2962, openG455 up for us.’ 12But he answeredG611, ‘TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, I do not knowG3609 you.’ 138Be on the alertG1127 thenG3767, for you do not knowG3609 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610.
