1Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.
2And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3For the foolish, when they took their lights, took no oil with them.
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lights.
5Now the husband was a long time in coming, and they all went to sleep.
6But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.
7Then all those virgins got up, and made ready their lights.
