mkjv@Luke:12:35 @ Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning.

mkjv@Luke:12:36 @ And you yourselves be like men who wait for their lord, whenever he shall return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

mkjv@Luke:12:37 @ Blessed [are] those servants whom the lord will find watching when [he] comes. Truly I say to you that he shall gird himself and make them recline; and coming up he will serve them.

mkjv@Luke:12:38 @ And if he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and find [it] so, blessed are those servants.

mkjv@Luke:12:39 @ And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.

mkjv@Luke:12:40 @ Therefore be ready also, for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.

mkjv@Luke:12:41 @ And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?

mkjv@Luke:12:42 @ And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom [his] lord shall set over his houseservants, to give [them their] portion of food in season?

mkjv@Luke:12:43 @ Blessed [is] that servant [when] his lord comes [and] finds him so doing.

mkjv@Luke:12:44 @ Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions.

mkjv@Luke:12:45 @ But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to beat the male servants and women servants, and to eat and drink and to be drunk,

mkjv@Luke:12:46 @ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour when he does not know. And he will cut him apart, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

mkjv@Luke:12:47 @ And that servant who knew his lord's will and did not prepare, nor did according to His will, shall be beaten with many [stripes].

mkjv@Luke:12:48 @ But he not knowing, and doing [things] worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
