³⁷ And what I say to you I say to all: ^(A)Stay awake.”

^33 (A)Be on guard, ^(B)keep awake.^[a] For you do not know when the time will come.

^35 (A)Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, ^(B)in the evening, or ^(C)at midnight, or ^(D)when the rooster crows,^[a] or ^(E)in the morning—

⁴¹ Peter said, “Lord, ^(A)are you telling this parable for us or for all?” ⁴² And the Lord said, “Who then is ^(B)the faithful and ^(C)wise ^(D)manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? ^43 (E)Blessed is that servant^[a] whom his master will find so doing when he comes. ⁴⁴ Truly, I say to you, ^(F)he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master ^(G)is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and ^(H)get drunk, ⁴⁶ the master of that servant will come ^(I)on a day when he does not expect him and ^(J)at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
