The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25:1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom .
25:2 Five of the virgins were foolish , and five were wise .
25:3 When the foolish ones took their lamps , they did not take extra olive oil with them .
25:4 But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps .
25:5 When the bridegroom was delayed a long time , they all became drowsy and fell asleep .
25:6 But at midnight there was a shout , ‘Look , the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.’
25:7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps .
25:8 The foolish ones said to the wise , ‘Give us some of your oil , because our lamps are going out .’
25:9 ‘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 .’
25:10 But 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 .
25:11 Later , the other virgins came too, saying , ‘Lord , lord ! Let us in !’
25:12 But he replied , replied , ‘I tell you the truth , I do not know you !’
25:13 Therefore stay alert , because you do not know the day or the hour .
The Parable of the Talents
25:14 “For it is like a man going on a journey , who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them .
