Gospel according to Matthew

two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left.

Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come.

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

Most assuredly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

and begins to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken,

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it,

and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

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

Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
