Luke 12:35-40

Legacy Standard Bible

Be Ready for His Coming

³⁵ “^(A)Gird up ^(B)your 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 ^(C)awake when he comes; truly I say to you, that ^(D)he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. ^38 (E)Whether he comes in the ^[a]second watch, or even in the ^[b]third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

³⁹ “^(F)But ^[c]be 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 ^[d](G)broken into. ^40 (H)You too, be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not ^[e]expect.”
