Luke:12:35-48

* "
Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning ;
*
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 .
*
Blessed are those servants whom the master ,
when he comes ,
will find watching .
Assuredly ,
I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat ,
and will come and serve them .
*
And if he should come in the second watch ,
or come in the third watch ,
and find them so ,
blessed are those servants .
*
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 broken into .
*
Therefore you also be ready ,
for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect ."
*
Then Peter said to Him , "
Lord ,
do You speak this parable only to us ,
or to all people ?"
*
And the Lord said , "
Who then is that faithful and wise steward ,
whom his master will make ruler over his household ,
to give them their portion of food in due season ?
*
Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes .
*
Truly ,
I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has .
*
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 ,
*
the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him ,
and at an hour when he is not aware ,
and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers .
*
And that servant who knew his master '
s will ,
and did not prepare himself or do according to his will ,
shall be beaten with many stripes .
*
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 .
