Luke 12:37-40
37BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slavesG1401 whomG3739 the masterG2962 will findG2147 1on the alertG1127 when he comesG2064; trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that 2he will 3prepareG4024 himself to serve, and have them reclineG347 at the table, and he will comeG3928 upG3928 and serveG1247 them. 384WhetherG2579 he comesG2064 in the 5secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2579 evenG2579 in the 6thirdG5154, and findsG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slaves.
39“7But 8be 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 9brokenG1358 into. 4010You tooG2532, be readyG2092; becauseG3754 the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 that you do not thinkG1380 He will.”
