Luke 12:39-46

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."

41Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?"

42And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?

43Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

44Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

45But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

46the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
