Luke 12:39-46

39“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time the thief was coming, he [would have been awake and alert, and] would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

40You too, be continually ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”

41Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us [disciples], or to everyone else as well?”

42The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward [of the estate], whom his master will put in charge over his household, to give his servants their portion of food at the proper time?

43Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is that servant whom his master finds so doing when he arrives.

44I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is taking his time in coming,’ and begins to beat the 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 does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
