drb @Luke:12:35 @Let your loins be girt , and lamps burning in your hands . drb @Luke:12:36 @And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord , when he shall return from the wedding ; that when he cometh and knocketh , they may open to him immediately . drb @Luke:12:37 @Blessed are those servants , whom the Lord when he cometh , shall find watching . Amen I say to you , that he will gird himself , and make them sit down to meat , and passing will minister unto them . drb @Luke:12:38 @And if he shall come in the second watch , or come in the third watch , and find them so , blessed are those servants . drb @Luke:12:39 @But this know ye , that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come , he would surely watch , and would not suffer his house to be broken open . drb @Luke:12:40 @Be you then also ready : for at what hour you think not , the Son of man will come . drb @Luke:12:41 @And Peter said to him : Lord , dost thou speak this parable to us , or likewise to all ? drb @Luke:12:42 @And the Lord said : Who (thinkest thou ) is the faithful and wise steward , whom his lord setteth over his family , to give them their measure of wheat in due season ? drb @Luke:12:43 @Blessed is that servant , whom when his lord shall come , he shall find so doing . drb @Luke:12:44 @Verily I say to you , he will set him over all that he possesseth . drb @Luke:12:45 @But if that servant shall say in his heart : My lord is long a coming ; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants , and to eat and to drink and be drunk : drb @Luke:12:46 @The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not , and at the hour that he knoweth not , and shall separate him , and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers . drb @Luke:12:47 @And that servant who knew the will of his lord , and prepared not himself , and did not according to his will , shall be beaten with many stripes . drb @Luke:12:48 @But he that knew not , and did things worthy of stripes , shall be beaten with few stripes . And unto whomsoever much is given , of him much shall be required : and to whom they have committed much , of him they will demand the more .
