Luke 12:35-48

35Let your loinsG3751 beG1510 girdedG4024 about, and your lampsG3088 burningG2545; 36and be ye yourselves like unto menG444 looking for their lordG2962, when he shall return from the marriageG1062 feastG1062; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway openG455 unto him. 37Blessed are those servantsG1401, whom the lordG2962 when he cometh shall findG2147 watchingG1127: verily I sayG3004 unto you, that he shall girdG4024 himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall comeG2064 and serveG1247 them. 38And if he shall comeG2064 in the secondG1208 watchG5438, and if in the thirdG5154, and findG2147 them so, blessed areG1510 those servants. 39But knowG1097 this, that if the master of the houseG3624 had knownG1097 in what hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have watched, and not have leftG863 his houseG3624 to be brokenG1358 through. 40Be ye alsoG2532 readyG2092: for in an hourG5610 that ye thinkG1380 not the SonG5207 of manG444 cometh.

41And PeterG4074 saidG3004, LordG2962, speakest thou this parableG3850 unto us, or evenG2532 unto all? 42And the LordG2962 saidG3004, Who then isG1510 the faithfulG4103 and wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whom his lordG2962 shall setG2525 over his household, to giveG1325 them their portion of food in due seasonG2540? 43Blessed is that servantG1401, whom his lordG2962 whenG2064 he cometh shall findG2147 soG3779 doing. 44Of a truth I sayG3004 unto you, that he will setG2525 him over all that he hath. 45But if that servantG3816 shall sayG3004 in his heartG2588, My lordG2962 delayeth his comingG2064; and shall begin to beatG5180 the menservants and the maidservants, and to eatG2068 and drinkG4095, and to be drunken; 46the lordG2962 of that servantG1401 shall comeG2240 in a dayG2250 when he expecteth not, and in an hourG5610 when he knoweth not, and shall cutG1371 him asunder, and appoint his portionG3313 with the unfaithful. 47And that servantG1401, who knewG1097 his lord’sG2962 will, and madeG4160 not readyG2090, nor did according to his will, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes; 48but he that knewG1097 not, and did thingsG3956 worthyG514 of stripes, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. And to whomsoever muchG4183 is givenG1325, of him shall muchG4183 be required: and to whom they commit muchG4183, of him will they askG154 the moreG4183.
