Matthew 25:1-10

1“ThenG5119 1the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 will be comparableG3666 to tenG1176 virginsG3933, whoG3748 tookG2983 their 2lampsG2985 and wentG1831 outG1831 to meetG5222 the groomG3566.

2FiveG4002 of them were foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 were 3prudentG5429.

3For when the foolishG3474 tookG2983 their lampsG2985, they did not takeG2983 extra oilG1637 with them;

4but the 4prudentG5429 ones tookG2983 oilG1637 in flasksG30 with their lampsG2985.

5NowG1161 while the groomG3566 was delayingG5549, they allG3956 becameG3573 drowsyG3573 and began to sleepG2518.

6But at midnightG3319G3571 5there finally was a shoutG2906: ‘BeholdG2400, the groomG3566! ComeG1831 outG1831 to meetG529 him.’

7ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 gotG1453 upG1453 and trimmedG2885 their lampsG2985.

8But the foolishG3474 virgins saidG3004 to the prudentG5429 ones, ‘GiveG1325 us someG1537 of your oilG1637, becauseG3754 our lampsG2985 are goingG4570 outG4570.’

9HoweverG1161, the 6prudentG5429 ones answeredG611, ‘No, there mostG3379 certainlyG3364 would not be enoughG714 for us and you too; goG4198 insteadG3123 to the merchantsG4453 and buyG59 some for yourselvesG1438.’

10But while they were 7on their wayG565 to buyG59 the oil, the groomG3566 cameG2064, and thoseG3588 who were 8readyG2092 wentG1525 inG1525 with him to 9the weddingG1062 feastG1062; and 10the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
