10 But while they had gone away to buy it the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.
11 And later the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
12 But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you!’
13 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know the day or the hour!
14 For it is like a man going on a journey. He summoned his own slaves and handed over his property to them.
15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each one according to his own ability, and he went on a journey immediately.
16 The one who had received the five talents went out and traded with them and gained five more.
