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.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 The foolish bridesmaids took their lamps, but they didn’t take any extra oil.
4 The wise bridesmaids, however, took along extra oil for their lamps.
5 Since the groom was late, all the bridesmaids became drowsy and fell asleep.
