Luke 12:36-38

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁶ be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. ³⁷ Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.^{(A) 38} If he comes during the middle of the night or near dawn and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.
