Read in KJV Bible Reader

Matthew 25:10-11. And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage; and the door was shut.

Afterward came also the other margins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. "Open the door at least to us, for we came to meet thee, and we carried lamps, and we were with the other virgins: ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’" You know, perhaps, those striking lines which describe the foolish virgins request, and the Bridegroom’s response to it,-

‘Late, late, so late; and dark the night and chill!

Late, late, so late; but we may enter still.’

‘Too late! Too late! Ye cannot enter now.’
