Matthew 25:5-12

Murdock(i) 5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep. 6 And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out. 9 The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut. 11 And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us. 12 But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
