of all his wealth.
024:048 But if the man, being a bad servant, should say in his heart,
`My master is a long time in coming,'
024:049 and should begin to beat his fellow servants, while he eats
and drinks with drunkards;
024:050 the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he is not

025:008 "`Give us some of your oil,' said the foolish ones to the wise,
`for our torches are going out.'
025:009 "`But perhaps,' replied the wise, `there will not be enough for all
of us. Go to the shops rather, and buy some for yourselves.'
025:010 "So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came;
those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the
wedding banquet; and the door was shut.
