“And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.”
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The division of the ten into two groups of five — foolish and wise — is established immediately, before any action. The foolish and wise recall the two builders of Matthew 7:24–27 (the wise builder and the foolish builder). The wisdom and foolishness are present from the beginning; they are not acquired during the waiting.
