Luke 12:34-44

34 "For ¹where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Be in Readiness

35 "²Be dressed in ³readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

36 "Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

37 "Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find ⁴on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that ⁵he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

38 "⁶Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

39 "⁷But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be ⁸broken into.

40 "⁹You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."

41 Peter said, "Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or ¹⁰to everyone else as well?"

42 And ¹¹the Lord said, "¹²Who then is the faithful and sensible ¹³steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

43 "Blessed is that ¹⁴slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

44 "Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
