In context

6But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

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

9But 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.’

10While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
