Luke 12:35-40

35“Get dressed for service and keep your lamps burning;

36be like people waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

37Blessed are those slaves whom their master finds alert when he returns! I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, have them take their place at the table, and will come and wait on them!

38Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, blessed are those slaves!

39But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
