From the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 25
Ten young women went out with their lamps. Five brought extra oil. Five did not think they would need it.
The wise ones held jars full of oil. The foolish ones had nothing extra — just their lamps, and nothing more.
The bridegroom was long in coming. It grew very late. All ten women fell asleep, their heads drooping against the wall.
"He's here!" someone shouted at midnight. Five lamps blazed bright. But five were sputtering — the oil was gone.
The ready bridesmaids followed the bridegroom toward the feast. The others hurried away, looking for more oil.
The five with oil went in, and the door was shut. The five who had run for oil arrived too late. The door would not open.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”
Well done for finishing this story.
