Luke 12:39-46

39“Of course, you realize that if the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let him break into his house.

40Be ready, because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.”

41Peter asked, “Lord, did you use this illustration just for us or for everyone?”

42The Lord asked, “Who, then, is the faithful, skilled manager that the master will put in charge of giving the other servants their share of food at the right time?

43That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.

44I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.

45On the other hand, that servant may think that his master is taking a long time to come home. The servant may begin to beat the other servants and to eat, drink, and get drunk.

46His master will return at an unexpected time. Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with unfaithful people.
