Matthew 25:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “Then the kingdom of heaven may be compared to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

2. Now five of them were foolish and five were wise.

3. For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take olive oil with them.

4. But the wise ones took olive oil in flasks with their lamps.

5. And when the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
