Come out to meet him!’“ Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.The foolish ones said to the wise ones,‘ Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.’“‘ No,’ they replied.‘ There may not be enough for all of us. Instead, go to those who sell oil. Buy some for yourselves.’“ So they went to buy the oil. But while they were on their way, the groom arrived. The bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding dinner. Then the door was shut.“ Later, the other bridesmaids also came.‘ Sir! Sir!’ they said.‘ Open the door for us!’“ But he replied,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. I don’t know you.’“ So keep watch. You do not know the day or the hour that the groom will come.
