The Story of the Virgins ~ Matthew 25:1-13

[1] “God’s kingdom is like ten young virgins who took oil lamps and went out to greet the bridegroom. [2] Five were silly and five were smart. [3] The silly virgins took lamps, but no extra oil. [4] The smart virgins took jars of oil to feed their lamps. [5] The bridegroom didn’t show up when they expected him, and they all fell asleep. [6] “In the middle of the night someone yelled out, ‘He’s here! The bridegroom’s here! Go out and greet him!’ [7] “The ten virgins got up and got their lamps ready. [8] The silly virgins said to the smart ones, ‘Our lamps are going out; lend us some of your oil.’ [9] “They answered, ‘There might not be enough to go around; go buy your own.’ [10] “They did, but while they were out buying oil, the bridegroom arrived. When everyone who was there to greet him had gone into the wedding feast, the door was locked. [11] “Much later, the other virgins, the silly ones, showed up and knocked on the door, saying, ‘Master, we’re here. Let us in.’ [12] “He answered, ‘Do I know you? I don’t think I know you.’ [13] “So stay alert. You have no idea when he might arrive.
