Matthew 25:5-12

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Come ye forth to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there be not enough for us and you; go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
