Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:7, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jesus is speaking to his disciples on the Mount of Olives, telling the parable of the ten virgins as he describes the kingdom of heaven and the delay before the bridegroom comes. At midnight the cry announces his arrival, and verse 7 shows every virgin responding the same way: they wake and trim their lamps, adjusting the wicks so the flames burn clearly.
