John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:4

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Ver. 4. But the wise took oil ] That is, true faith in their hearts, which, as oil, is spreading, softening, suppling, soaking. Christ putteth not upon his a washy colour of profession (a blockwood blue), but he dyeth them in grain, with true grace and holiness. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:5

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Ver. 5. While the bridegroom tarried ] Tarry he doth. 1. To exercise our patience. 2. To eneager our desires. 3. That his elect may be all gathered. 4. That the mystery of iniquity may be fulfilled. 5. That the prophecies may be accomplished, &c. They all slumbered ] The wise ones also slept, but their hearts awakened, Song of Solomon 5:2 ; they slept but half asleep, they napped and nodded ( ενυαταξαν ), they slept with open... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:6

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Ver. 6. There was a cry made ] By the trumpet of the archangel, a and the voice of God, say some interpreters; and Jerome reports it for an apostolic tradition that Christ shall come at midnight. But of that hour no man knoweth, saith the Judge himself. Others there are that expound this cry of the preaching of the gospel, according to that voice of the crier, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord,"... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:7

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. Ver. 7. And trimmed their lamps ] The foolish also made a fair flourish, and held themselves, haply, in case good enough for heaven; deceiving their own hearts, or rather deceived by them, while they use fallacious and specious sophisms, James 1:26 , to make themselves believe their penny to be good silver, when as it is nothing better than a slip. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:8

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. Ver. 8. Our lamps are gone out ] They were not lighted lamps, but sparks of their own tinderboxes; fantastic fire, an ignis fatuus, foolish fire, a painted flame, which neither heats nor lights. The glowworm seems to have both heat and light, but touch it, and it hath neither. Alchemy gold may seem brighter and better than true gold, but it can neither pass the seventh fire, nor comfort the heart as a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:9

9 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. Ver. 9. Lest there be not enough, &c. ] The best have nought to spare, whatever Papists fancy of the church treasury. The righteous is scarcely saved; at death he finds all he could do little enough; though he began early, and bestirred himself to his utmost, hard and scarce gets he to heaven, though he hath instantly served God day and night,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:10

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Ver. 10. And they that were ready went in, &c. ] The bridegroom waits no man’s leisure: love is impatient by delays, leaps over all impediments, those mountains of Bether, or division, Song of Solomon 2:17 , that it may have not a union only, but a unity with the beloved. And the door was shut ] Opportunity is headlong, and once lost, irrecoverable. It... read more
