========================
Luke 12:35-48
========================
35“Be dressed ready for
service and keep your lamps burning,
36like servants waiting for
their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks
they can immediately open the door for him.
37It will be good for those
servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he
will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come
and wait on them.
38It will be good for those
servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the
night or toward daybreak.
39But understand this: If the
owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not
have let his house be broken into.
40You also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41Peter asked, “Lord, are you
telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42The Lord answered, “Who
then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his
servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?
43It will be good for that
servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.
44Truly I tell you, he will
put him in charge of all his possessions.
45But suppose the servant
says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then
begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and
get drunk.
46The master of that servant
will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware
of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47“The servant who knows the
master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will
be beaten with many blows.
48But the one who does not
know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From
everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who
has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
