Luke 12:22-40

22Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “So I say to you, do not worry about life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will wear.

23For life is more than food and the body more than clothing.

24Consider the ravens. They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than birds!

25“And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26So if you cannot do even something very little, why do you worry about other things?

27Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

28But if God so clothes the grass in the field—which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow—then how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

29“So do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.

30For all the nations of the world strive after these things. But your Father knows that you need these things.

31Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.

32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father chose to give you the kingdom.

33“Sell your possessions and do tzadakah. Make money pouches for yourselves that do not get old—a treasure in the heavens that never runs out, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35“Have your belt strapped on and lamps burning.

36Be like people waiting for their master to return from a wedding feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

37“Happy are those slaves whose master finds them alert when he comes. Amen, I tell you, he will prepare himself and have them recline at table, and will come and serve them.

38”And if he comes in the second or even the third watch and finds them so, they will be happy.

39But understand this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

40You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you don’t expect.”
