While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
All Commentaries on Matthew 25:5 Go To Matthew 25
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
The bridegroom and bride represent our Lord, God in the flesh. For as the spirit is wedded to the flesh, so the flesh is wedded to the spirit. When the trumpet finally summons us and the bridegroom is at hand, all this will be revealed. Indeed, the two aspects are the corruptible body and the incorruptible soul.
