Vigyázzatok, azaz fejlődjetek! Antropológiai adalékok a tíz szűz példázatához Mt 25,1–13
Keep watching, i.e. keep improving? Anthropological additions to the parable of the ten virgins Matthew 25:1–13

Summary/Abstract: The parable of the ten virgins is generally considered to be as the most ambiguous parable of Jesus in terms of its origin and meaning. Researchers wonder: can be viewed its context in Matthew’s little apocalypse as the very first interpretation of the early church? Is it a genuine, composite text or more a compilation of traditions at all? While these are relevant questions, this paper pays more attention to its final form. The research attempts to reasess its significance through anthropological interpretation. The analysis will address the five main issues of the parable: the relevance of the oil, the human choice, the time of man, the foolishness and cleverness of man, and virginity.
