Matthew 25:1-6

1 "Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3 For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;
4 but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 But at midnight there is a loud cry, "`The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'
