1
"The Kingdom of Heaven at that time will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2
Five of them were foolish and five were sensible.
3
The foolish ones took lamps with them but no oil,
4
whereas the others took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5
Now the bridegroom was late, so they all went to sleep.
6
It was the middle of the night when the cry rang out, `The bridegroom is here! Go out to meet him!'
7
The girls all woke up and prepared their lamps for lighting.
8
The foolish ones said to the sensible ones, `Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.'
9
`No,' they replied, `there may not be enough for both you and us. Go to the oil dealers and buy some for yourselves.'
10
But as they were going off to buy, the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
