Revised Version 1895

Matthew 25:2-13

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

3For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:

4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

9But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

11Afterward come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
