mnt@Luke:12:35 @ "Let your loins be girded about and your lamps burning;

mnt@Luke:12:36 @ "and be yourselves like men who are looking for the Lord, on his return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they may at once open the door for him.

mnt@Luke:12:37 @ "Happy are those slaves whom their master shall find watching when he comes. I tell you truly that will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and come and serve them.

mnt@Luke:12:38 @ "And whether it be in the second watch, or in the third, that he comes, and so finds them, happy are those slaves.

mnt@Luke:12:39 @ "However, you know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.

mnt@Luke:12:40 @ "Do you also be ready, for in an hour that you think not the Son of man is coming."

mnt@Luke:12:41 @ "Master," said Peter, "are you speaking this parable to us or to all alike?"

mnt@Luke:12:42 @ The Lord answered. "Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his Lord will put in charge of the rations in due time?

mnt@Luke:12:43 @ "Blessed is that slave whom his master on his coming shall find so doing.

mnt@Luke:12:44 @ "Of a truth I tell you that he will put him in charge of his possessions.

mnt@Luke:12:45 @ "But if that slave should say to himself, My master delays his coming, and should begin to beat the men and the maids, and to eat and drink and to get drunk,

mnt@Luke:12:46 @ "that slaves master will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour when he knows not, and will surely scourge him, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

mnt@Luke:12:47 @ "The slave who knew his Lords will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, will be beaten with many lashes,

mnt@Luke:12:48 @ "but he who did not know, but did things worthy of a beating, will receive few lashes. To whom much has been given, from him much will be required, and to whom much is entrusted, of him they will ask the more.
