35
"Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit,
36
like people waiting for their master's return after a wedding feast; so that when he comes and knocks, they will open the door for him without delay.
37
Happy the slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes! Yes! I tell you he will put on his work clothes, seat them at the table, and come serve them himself!
