vw - Luke:12:35-48

vw@Luke:12:35 @ Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning;

vw@Luke:12:36 @ and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

vw@Luke:12:37 @ Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Truly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

vw@Luke:12:38 @ And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

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

vw@Luke:12:40 @ Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

vw@Luke:12:41 @ Then Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to everyone?

vw@Luke:12:42 @ And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the right time?

vw@Luke:12:43 @ Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

vw@Luke:12:44 @ Truly, I say to you that he will set him over all that he has.

vw@Luke:12:45 @ But if that servant says in his heart, My master is delaying his coming, and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

vw@Luke:12:46 @ the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

vw@Luke:12:47 @ And that servant who knew his masters will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

vw@Luke:12:48 @ But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
