Luke 12:32-40

3212Do not beG5399 afraidG5399, 3littleG3398 flockG4168, becauseG3754 4your FatherG3962 has chosenG2106 to giveG1325 you the kingdomG932.

33“5SellG4453 your possessionsG5225 and giveG1325 to charityG1654; makeG4160 yourselvesG1438 moneyG905 beltsG905 that do not wearG3822 outG3822, 6an inexhaustibleG413 treasureG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 comesG1448 nearG1448 norG3761 does a mothG4597 destroyG1311. 34For 7whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

35“89Be preparedG4024, and keep your 10lampsG3088 litG2545. 36You are alsoG2532 to be likeG3664 peopleG444 who are waitingG4327 for their masterG2962 whenG4219 he returnsG360 from the weddingG1062 feastG1062, soG2443 thatG2443 they may immediatelyG2112 openG455 the door for him when he comesG2064 and knocksG2925. 37BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slavesG1401 whomG3739 the masterG2962 will findG2147 11on the alertG1127 when he comesG2064; trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that 12he will 13prepareG4024 himself to serve, and have them reclineG347 at the table, and he will comeG3928 upG3928 and serveG1247 them. 3814WhetherG2579 he comesG2064 in the 15secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2579 evenG2579 in the 16thirdG5154, and findsG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slaves.

39“17But 18be sureG1097 of thisG3778, that ifG1487 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 had knownG3609 at whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would not have allowedG863 his houseG3624 to be 19brokenG1358 into. 4020You tooG2532, be readyG2092; becauseG3754 the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 that you do not thinkG1380 He will.”
