‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:1‭-‬13‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

[1] The kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. [2] Five of them were foolish (thoughtless, without forethought), and five were wise (sensible, intelligent, and prudent). [3] For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take any [extra] oil with them; [4] But the wise took flasks of oil along with them [also] with their lamps. [5] While the bridegroom lingered and was slow in coming, they all began nodding their heads, and they fell asleep. [6] But at midnight, there was a shout, Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet him! [7] Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps in order. [8] And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. [9] But the wise replied, There will not be enough for us and for you; go instead to the dealers and buy for yourselves. [10] But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. [11] Later, the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open [the door] to us! [12] But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you [I am not acquainted with you]. [13] Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.
