Know this, If the good man of the house had known in what watch the
thief would come, he would have stood guard and not have suffered his
house to be broken into. Therefore, be ready. At an hour that ye think
the Son of man will not come, then He will come.
It is a faithful and wise servant who, his lord having given him charge
over the household, prepares the foods in due season. Blessed is that
servant who, when his lord arrives, shall find him doing so. He shall
make the servant ruler over all his goods.
It is an evil servant who says, My lord delays his coming so I shall
take advantage. He smites his fellowservants and eats and drinks until
drunken. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when the servant
does not expect him. At a time when the servant is unaware, he shall be
cut asunder and thrown out with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
25 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto ten virgins who took
their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise.
Five were foolish. The foolish took their lamps but no extra oil with
them. The wise took oil in their vessels along with their lamps. While
the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered. At midnight there was a
cry, Behold, the bridegroom is coming. Go out to meet Him.
All the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
