“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.”
Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. The Parable of the Ten Virgins is the first of three parables in the eschatological conclusion of the Olivet Discourse, all addressed to the watch-readiness command of Matthew 24:42–44. The ten virgins who take their lamps to meet the bridegroom are the eschatological community waiting for the Son of Man's return.
