Matthew 25:2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Cross-reference
In Matthew 7:24-27, the wise and foolish builders mirror the wise and foolish virgins — both contrasts between preparedness and ruin.
In Matthew 22:11, the man without a wedding garment is excluded — like the foolish virgins without oil, both lack proper preparation for the feast.
In Matthew 13:38-43, the wheat and weeds separation mirrors the wise and foolish virgins — both parables teach final judgment dividing righteous and wicked.
In Matthew 13:48, sorting good fish from bad echoes the virgins' outcome — the foolish are discarded just as the bad fish are thrown away.
In 1 John 2:19, those who left were never truly of the group — the foolish virgins similarly appear among the wise but are finally separated.
In Ephesians 5:15, Paul contrasts wise and unwise conduct — the same dichotomy as the wise and foolish virgins.
