And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

A centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

And he sent messengers on ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not ready himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

And at the time of the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, for all is now ready.'

He will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready."

But he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
