Luke 12:37-39
New Catholic Bible
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he arrives. Amen, I say to you, he will fasten his belt, have them recline to eat, and proceed to wait on them himself. 38 If he comes in the second watch[a] or in the third and finds them still awake, blessed are those servants.
39 The Hour of the Son of Man.[b]“But keep this in mind: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.
