Matthew 24:43-48

43You can be sure about this. The master of a house does not know at what time of night a man would come to rob him. If he knew the time, he would watch his house more carefully. He would not let the robber come into his house and take away his things.

44So you must also be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not thinking about it.’

45Jesus then said, ‘You should be like a wise servant. Be someone that the master can trust. The master will choose a man like that. He will say to him, “Rule over my house and all my other servants. Give everyone their food to eat at the right time.”

46That servant will be very happy when his master comes home. His master will see that he has done everything well.

47Yes, I tell you this: The master will give that servant authority to rule over everything in his house.

48But another servant might be bad. He might say to himself, “My master will not come yet.”
