Matthew 25:9 in Context — Matthew 25
7 Alors toutes ces vierges se réveillèrent, et préparèrent leurs lampes.
8 Les folles dirent aux sages: Donnez-nous de votre huile, car nos lampes s’éteignent.
9 Les sages répondirent: Non; il n’y en aurait pas assez pour nous et pour vous; allez plutôt chez ceux qui en vendent, et achetez-en pour vous.
10 Pendant qu’elles allaient en acheter, l’époux arriva; celles qui étaient prêtes entrèrent avec lui dans la salle des noces, et la porte fut fermée.
11 Plus tard, les autres vierges vinrent, et dirent: Seigneur, Seigneur, ouvre-nous.
