¶ The .xxv. Chapter.
1Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened unto .x. virgins / which toke their §Alamps / & went to mete the bridegroom: five of them were foolish / & five were wise. The foolish toke their lamps / but toke none oil with them. But the wise took oil with them ⟨image 54⟩in their vessels with their lamps also. While the bridegroom tarried / all slumbered & slept. And even at midnight / there was a cry made: behold / the bridegroom cometh / goo out against him. Then all those virgins arose / & prepared their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise: give us of your oil / for our lamps goo out? but the wise answered saying. Not so / lest there be not enough for us & you: but goo rather to them that sell / & by for your selves. And while they went to bye / the bridegroom came: & they that were ready / went in with him to the wedding / & the gate was shut up: Afterward came also the other virgins saying: master master / open to us. But he answered & said: verily I say unto you: I know not you. 2Watch there fore: for ye know nether3 the day nor yet the hour▪ when the son of man shall come.
