Luke 12:35-40 - On The Alert For The Master's Return
35 "Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; 36 and yourselves like men waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may straightway open to him. 37 Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when coming, shall find watching! Verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them recline; and, coming near, he will serve them. 38 And, if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, happy are they! 39 But know this, that, if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye also ready; because at an hour ye think not the Son of Man cometh."
