In this Gospel, Jesus talks about what it

means to be prepared to receive the

Kingdom of Heaven. The reading fol-

lows a series of warnings and predic-

tions by Jesus about the coming of the

Son of Man. Jesus wants his disciples to

understand that the exact day and time

cannot be predicted. He teaches the dis-

ciples that they must remain vigilant so

that they will not be caught unprepared.

When thinking about the parable of the

wise and foolish virgins, it is important

to consider the first-century wedding

traditions of Palestine. It was the cus-

tom of the day for young maidens,

friends and family members of the bride

to meet the bridegroom when he came

to bring his bride to her new home.

In last week’s Gospel, we heard Jesus

warn against following the example of

the Pharisees and scribes. The early

Christians struggle to define itself

against Pharisaic Judaism. It suggests

that the Jewish leaders were like the

foolish virgins, unprepared to meet Je-

sus, the bridegroom of Israel.

In the chapter preceding this parable,

Jesus warns about the destruction of

Jerusalem, the tribulation of the end

times, and the coming of the Son of

Man. Today’s parable is a warning to

the Christian community to remain vigi-

lant and prepared to receive Jesus, who

will return at the end of time. This inter-

pretation is supported by the reference

to the delay of the bridegroom. The

Christian community for whom Mat-

thew wrote this Gospel was coming to

terms with the realization that the prom-

ise of Jesus’ return would not be ful-

filled within their lifetimes. Are we

ready to receive Jesus?
