Luke 12:39-46
39“1But 2be sureG1097 of thisG3778, that ifG1487 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 had knownG3609 at whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would not have allowedG863 his houseG3624 to be 34brokenG1358 into. 405You tooG2532, be readyG2092; for the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 that you do not 6expectG1380.”
41PeterG4074 saidG3004, “LordG2962, are You addressingG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 to us, orG2228 7to everyoneG3956 else as wellG2532?” 42And 8the LordG2962 saidG3004, “9WhoG5101 thenG686 is the faithfulG4103 and sensibleG5429 10stewardG3623, whomG3739 his masterG2962 will putG2525 in chargeG2525 of his 11servantsG2322, to giveG1325 them their rationsG4620 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 43BlessedG3107 is that 12slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 13masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 44TrulyG230 I sayG3004 to you that he will putG2525 him in chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 45But ifG1437 that slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My masterG2962 14will be a longG5549 timeG5549 in comingG2064,’ and beginsG757 to beatG5180 the slavesG3814G3816, both menG3816 and womenG3814, and to eatG2068 and drinkG4095 and getG3182 drunkG3182; 46the masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 whenG3739 he does not expectG4328 him and at an hourG5610 he does not knowG1097, and will cutG1371 him in piecesG1371, and assignG5087 him a placeG3313 with the unbelieversG571.
