Matthew 25:1-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
1
Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2
Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
3
For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take
extra
oil with them;
4
but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps.
5
Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and
began
to sleep.
6
But at midnight there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet
him.
’
7
Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8
But the foolish
virgins
said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9
However, the prudent ones answered, ‘
No,
there most certainly would not be enough for us and you
too;
go instead to the merchants and buy
some
for yourselves.’
King James Version
Chapter 25
1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

1
"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3
When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take oil with them;
4
but the wise ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps.
5
When the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6
"In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7
"Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8
The foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9
"The wise ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell oil, and buy some for yourselves.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 25
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.’

7
"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8
The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9
" ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
