Lamsa(i)
1 THEN the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 And the foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4 But the wise ones took oil in the vessels with their lamps.
5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to greet him.
7 Then all the virgins got up and fixed their lamps.
8 And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9 Then the wise ones answered and said, Why, there would not be enough for us and for you; go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready entered with him into the wedding house, and the door was locked.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came and said, Our lord, our lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
13 Be alert, therefore, for you do not know, that day nor the hour.
14 It is just like a man who went on a journey, who called his servants and put his wealth in their charge.
