Berean Standard Bible
Luke 12:39-46
39But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming,1 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 you do not expect.”
41“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
42And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time? 43Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 44Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
