Matthew(i)
1 Then the kingdome of heauen shalbe lykened vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes and went to mete the bridegrom,
2 Fyue of them were folyshe, & fyue were wise.
3 The folyshe toke theyr lampes, but toke none oyle with them.
4 But the wise toke oyle with them in their vessels with their lampes also.
5 Whyle the brydegrome taried, al slombred and slepte.
6 And euen at midnight there was a crye made: beholde, the brydegrome cometh, goo out againste hym.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lampes.
8 And the folishe sayed to the wise: gyue vs of your oyle for oure lampes go out.
9 But the wyse aunswered sayinge not so, least there be not ynough for vs and you: but go rather to them that sell & by for your selues.
10 And whyle they went to bye the brydegrome came: and they that were redie, went in wyth hym to the weddinge, and the gate was shut vp.
11 Afterwardes cam also the other virgins sayinge: maister maister, open to vs.
12 But he aunswered and sayd: verely I say vnto you: I knowe not you
13 watche therfore: for ye knowe neither the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.
