Luke 12:35-40 — Legacy Standard Bible

Be Ready for His Coming

³⁵“^aGird up ^byour loins, and keep your lamps lit. ³⁶“And be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. ³⁷“Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find ^aawake when he comes; truly I say to you, that ^bhe will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. ³⁸“^aWhether he comes in the ¹second watch, or even in the ²third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

³⁹“^aBut ¹be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be ²^,^bbroken into. ⁴⁰“^aYou too, be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not ¹expect.”
