But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Pero las prudentes respondieron: 'No, porque no alcanzaría para nosotras y para ustedes. Mejor vayan donde los que venden y compren para ustedes mismas.'
Las vírgenes prudentes se negaron a compartir su aceite porque no habría suficiente para todas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first-century Jewish culture, weddings often involved a bridegroom arriving late at night, with virgins carrying oil lamps to light the way and escort him to the bride. Jesus told this parable of the ten virgins to illustrate the importance of spiritual readiness for the coming Kingdom of Heaven, where the wise virgins had extra oil to keep their lamps burning. This story draws from everyday customs to warn listeners about the consequences of unpreparedness.
