Luke 12:37-39

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁷ Blessed (happy, fortunate, and ^[a]to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake and alert and watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them!

³⁸ If he comes in the second watch (before midnight) or the third watch (after midnight), and finds them so, blessed (happy, fortunate, and ^[b]to be envied) are those servants!

³⁹ But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into.
