Luke 12:37-39

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³⁷ Those slaves the master will find alert^(A) when he comes will be blessed. I assure you: He will get ready,^[a] have them recline at the table, then come and serve them.^{(B) 38} If he comes in the middle of the night, or even near dawn,^[b] and finds them alert, those slaves are blessed. ³⁹ But know this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming,^(C) he would not have let his house be broken into.
