Matthew
Chapters 25:6-12
New English Translation
6But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.’
7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9‘No,’ they replied. ‘There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut.
11Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’
12But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you!’
