1 Então o Reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens, que tomaram suas lâmpadas, e saíram ao encontro do noivo.

2 E cinco delas eram prudentes, e cinco tolas.

3 As tolas, quando tomaram as suas lâmpadas, não tomaram azeite consigo.

4 Mas as prudentes tomaram azeite nos seus frascos, com as suas lâmpadas.

5 O noivo demorou, por isso todas cochilaram e adormeceram.
