Matthew 25: 1 - 13 

One of the longest discourses of Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry was on the subject of His Second coming. In the Gospel of Matthew alone (chapters 24 & 25), the Bible records 97 verses in succession with four parables to illustrate the events likely to take place before His return. In the middle of this long diatribe, He highlights the Parable of the ten virgins.
