Matthew 25:11 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Open unto us - This is not to be understood as implying that any will come after the righteous shall be admitted into the kingdom, and claim admission then. It is a part of the parable to illustrate the general truth inculcated, or to prepare the way for what is afterwards said, and to keep up the narrative and make it consistent.

Matthew 25:11

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
