Noyes(i)
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 For the foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 And as the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, Lo! the bridegroom! go 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 our lamps are going out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.
12 But he answering said, Truly do I say to you, I know you not,
13 Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
