Mat 25:1-13 esv "(1) "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. (2) Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. (3) For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, (4) but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. (5) As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. (6) But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' (7) Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. (8) And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' (9) But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' (10) And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. (11) Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.' (12) But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' (13) Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
Parable whole good, but certain man drew my attention to verse 9 - who are the dealers who can sell the oil to foolish virgins... Everyone interprets the parable more or less the same, but the question is who are the dealers somehow remains without attention, especially by a horde of teachers .
It is worth note that there are such places in the Scriptures, which are carefully ignored by the leaders, for example such as "do not be called leaders", or for example Eze 34:1-10 and Eze 34:17-22... but sorry for offtop.
Does anyone wonder who are the dealers of the parable about virgins?
The second matter worthy of attention from the ninth verse is the lack of false feeling solidarity wise virgins with foolish, why wise virgins not wept with emotion and not say "Come, dears," etc.?
