Luke 12
Estejam Preparados
35
Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.
36
And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.
37
Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.
38
And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.
39
But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40
So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
41
And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
42
And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?
43
Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.
44
Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.
45
But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine
46
The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith
47
And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows
48
But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
