Matthew 25:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 25:1

1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet ^athe bridegroom.

2 ^aNow five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,

4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, ^athey all slumbered and slept.

6 “And at midnight ^aa cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom¹ is coming; go out to meet him!’

7 Then all those virgins arose and ^atrimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
