    3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.

    4But the wise ones took oil in their flasks along with their lamps.

    5When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

    6At midnight, there was a cry: ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Go out to meet him!’

    7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

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

    9But the wise ones replied, ‘No, there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

    10While they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.

    11Later, the other virgins also came and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us.’

    16The servant who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and made another five talents.

    17In the same way, the servant who had two talents also gained two more.

    18But the servant who had received the one talent went away, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

    19After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
