Luke 12:39

39 But know this, if the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he wouldn't have allowed his home to be broken into.

Luke 12:39 In-Context

37 Happy are those servants whom the master finds waiting up when he arrives. I assure you that, when he arrives, he will dress himself to serve, seat them at the table as honored guests, and wait on them.
38 Happy are those whom he finds alert, even if he comes at midnight or just before dawn.
39 But know this, if the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he wouldn't have allowed his home to be broken into.
40 You also must be ready, because the Human One is coming at a time when you don't expect him."
41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?"
