"At midnight, a shout was raised: 'Behold, THE BRIDEGROOM! Come out to meet HIM!' Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be enough for both us and you. You had better go to the merchants and buy some.'
"While they went off to purchase it, THE BRIDEGRROM arrived, and those who were ready went in with HIM to the wedding banquet. Then the door was locked. Afterward, the other virgins returned, and they cried out, 'LORD! LORD! Open the door for us!' But HE replied, 'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.' Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
