Matthew 25:1-13 NLT
1. Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten
bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2.
Five of them were
foolish, and five were wise.
3.
The five who were
foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps,
4.
But the other five
were wise enough to take along extra oil.
5.
When the bridegroom
was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6.
At midnight they
were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet
him!’
7.
All the bridesmaids
got up and prepared their lamps.
8.
Then the five
foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our
lamps are going out.’
9.
But the others
replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for
yourselves.’
10.
But while they were
gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with
him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked.
11.
Later, when the
other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open
the door for us!’
12.
But he called back,
‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’
13.
So you, too, must
keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of My return.
