25:8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
25:9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
25:10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
25:11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
25:12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
25:13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
25:14For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
25:16Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
25:17And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
25:18But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
