Luke 12:35-50

35Let your loinsG3751 beG1510 girdedG4024 about, and lampsG3088 burningG2545;

36and ye like menG444 who wait their ownG1438 lordG2962 whenever he may leave the weddingG1062, that when he comesG2064 and knocksG2925, they may openG455 to him immediatelyG2112.

37Blessed are those bondmen whom the lordG2962 [on] comingG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127; verily I sayG3004 unto you, that he will girdG4024 himself and make them reclineG347 at table, and comingG2064 up will serveG1247 them.

38And if he comeG2064 in the secondG1208 watchG5438, and comeG2064 in the thirdG5154 watchG5438, and findG2147 [them] thusG3779, blessed areG1510 those [bondmen].

39But this knowG1097, that if the master of the houseG3624 had knownG1097 in what hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have watched, and not have suffered his houseG3624 to be dug through.

40And ye therefore, be ye readyG2092, for in the hourG5610 in which ye do not thinkG1380 [it], the SonG5207 of manG444 comesG2064.

41And PeterG4074 saidG3004 to him, LordG2962, sayest thou this parableG3850 to us, or alsoG2532 to all?

42And the LordG2962 saidG3004, Who then isG1510 the faithfulG4103 and prudent stewardG3623, whom his lordG2962 will setG2525 over his household, to giveG1325 the measure of corn in seasonG2540?

43Blessed is that bondman whom his lordG2962 [on] comingG2064 shall findG2147 doing thusG3779;

44verily I sayG3004 unto you, that he will setG2525 him over all that he has.

45But if that bondman should sayG3004 in his heartG2588, My lordG2962 delays to comeG2064, and begin to beatG5180 the menservants and the maidservants, and to eatG2068 and to drinkG4095 and to be drunken,

46the lordG2962 of that bondman shall comeG2240 in a dayG2250 when he does not expectG4328 it, and in an hourG5610 he knowsG1097 not of, and shall cutG1371 him in two and appoint his portionG3313 with the unbelieversG571.

47But that bondman who knewG1097 his own lord's will, and had not preparedG2090 [himself] nor done his will, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 [stripes];

48but he who knewG1097 [it] not, and did thingsG3956 worthyG514 of stripes, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641. And to every oneG3739 to whom muchG4183 has been givenG1325, muchG4183 shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed muchG4183, they will askG154 from him the moreG4183.

49I have comeG2064 to castG906 a fireG4442 on the earthG1093; and what will I if alreadyG2235 it has been kindled?

50But I have a baptismG908 to be baptised with, and howG4459 am I straitened until it shall have been accomplishedG5055!
