New Living Translation
Luke 12:39-46
39“Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into.
40You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”
41Peter asked, “Lord, is that illustration just for us or for everyone?”
42And the Lord replied, “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.
43If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.
44I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.
45But what if the servant thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk?
46The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant in pieces and banish him with the unfaithful.
