Luke 12:33-40

33Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35"Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,

36and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.

37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.

38If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!

39But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.

40You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
