Matthew 25:1-6

Parable of the ten young bridesmaids

1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten young bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 Now five of them were wise, and the other five were foolish.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps but didn't bring oil for them.
4 But the wise ones took their lamps and also brought containers of oil.
5 “When the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy and went to sleep.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Look, the groom! Come out to meet him.'
