12:31  Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you1.

12:32  Fear not1, little flock2; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom3.

12:33  Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old2, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not3, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth4.

12:34  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also1.

12:35  Let your loins be girded about1, and your lamps burning2;

12:36  and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him1.

12:37  Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them1.

12:38  And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third1, and find [them] so blessed are those [servants].

12:39  But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched1, and not have left his house to be broken through2.

12:40  Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh1.

12:41  And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all1?

12:42  And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season1?

12:44  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath1.

12:46  the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder1, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.

12:48  but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more1.

12:49  I came to cast fire upon the earth1; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled2?

12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with1; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished2!

12:51  Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

12:52  for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three1.

12:53  They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father1; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.

12:54  And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass1.

12:55  And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass1.

12:56  Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time1?

12:57  And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right1?

12:58  For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate1, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.

12:59  I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite1.
