Luke 12:28-38

28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, ¹O you of little faith!

29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor ²be worried.

30 For ³all the nations of the world seek after these things, and ⁴your Father knows that you need them.

31 Instead, ⁵seek ⁶his^[a] kingdom, ⁷and these things will be added to you.

32 ⁸“Fear not, little ⁹flock, for ¹⁰it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you ¹¹the kingdom.

33 ¹²Sell your possessions, and ¹³give to the needy. ¹⁴Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with ¹⁵a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34 ¹⁶For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You Must Be Ready

35 ¹⁷“Stay dressed for action^[b] and ¹⁸keep your lamps burning,

36 and be like men who are ¹⁹waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and ²⁰knocks.

37 ²¹Blessed are those servants^[c] whom the master finds ²²awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, ²³he will dress himself for service and ²⁴have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.

38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!
