Lucas 12:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:38

And if he shall come in the second watch
Of the night, that is, after nine o'clock, or any time between nine or twelve; for the second watch was from nine o'clock till twelve; and this was coming early from an entertainment, or a wedding, which were commonly kept in the night, and late;

or come in the third watch,
or after twelve o'clock, or any time between twelve and three; for the third watch was from twelve o'clock to three, which was late; (See Gill on Matthew 14:25) The Persic version reads, "in the second, or third part of the night"; and the Ethiopic version, "in the second or third hour of the night";

and find them so.
The Arabic version adds, "doing"; as above described, with their loins girt, lights burning, and they watching for their Lord's coming:

blessed are those servants;
since they shall be used and treated as before related.

Lucas 12:38 In-Context

36 y vosotros semejantes a hombres que esperan cuando su señor ha de volver de las bodas; para que cuando viniere, y tocare, luego le abran.
37 Bienaventurados aquellos siervos, a los cuales cuando el Señor viniere, hallare velando; de cierto os digo, que él se ceñirá, y hará que se sienten a la mesa, y pasando les servirá.
38 Y aunque venga a la segunda vigilia, y aunque venga a la tercera vigilia, y los hallare asĂ­, bienaventurados son los tales siervos.
39 Pero esto sabed, que si supiese el padre de familia a qué hora había de venir el ladrón, velaría ciertamente, y no dejaría minar su casa.
40 Vosotros pues también, estad apercibidos; porque a la hora que no pensáis, el Hijo del hombre vendrá.
