Luke 12:35-46

Luke 12:35-46

[35] loins  girded about,  and  your lights  burning;  [36] And  like  unto men  that wait  for their  lord,  when  he will return  from  the wedding;  that  when he cometh  and  knocketh,  they may open  unto him  immediately.  [37] Blessed  are those  servants,  whom  the lord  when he cometh  shall find  watching:  verily  I say  that  he shall gird himself,  and  them  to sit down to meat,  and  will come forth  and serve  them.  [38] And  he shall come  in  the second  watch,  or  come  in  the third  watch,  and  find  them so,  blessed  those  [39] And  know,  that  if  the goodman of the house  had known  what  hour  the thief  would come,  he would have watched,  and  not  have suffered  his  house  to be broken through.  [40] Be  ready  also:  for  the Son  of man  cometh  at an hour  when ye think  not.  [41] Then  Peter  said  Lord,  speakest thou  parable  unto  or  even  to  all?  [42] the Lord  said,  Who  then  that faithful  and  wise  steward,  whom  his lord  shall make ruler  over  his  household,  to give  them their portion of meat  in  due season?  [43] Blessed  is that  servant,  whom  his  lord  when he cometh  shall find  so  doing.  [44] Of a truth  I say  that  he will make him  ruler  over  all  that he  [45] But and  if  that  servant  say  in  his  heart,  lord  delayeth  his coming;  and  shall begin  to beat  the menservants  and  maidens,  and  to eat  and  drink,  and  to be drunken;  [46] The lord  of that  servant  will come  in  a day  when  not  for  him, and  at  an hour  when  not  aware,  and  him  in sunder,  and  will appoint  him his  portion  with  the unbelievers.
