"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
— Matthew 25:13
Panel 1 (upper right): The bridegroom delays so the virgins sleep. The wise have lamps and oil; the foolish have lamps but no oil.
Panel 2 (lower right): When the bridegroom comes, someone shouts that the fools can't borrow oil but should get some themselves.
Panel 3 (upper left): The foolish ones go out to buy oil when the bridegroom comes back. Those who are ready leave with him.
Panel 4 (lower left): The foolish ones come back late to a closed door. The host says, "I don't know you."
