Luke 12:36-38

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³⁶ You must be like people waiting for their master^(A) to return^[a] from the wedding banquet^(B) so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.^{(C) 37} Those slaves the master will find alert^(D) when he comes will be blessed. I assure you: He will get ready,^[b] have them recline at the table, then come and serve them.^{(E) 38} If he comes in the middle of the night, or even near dawn,^[c] and finds them alert, those slaves are blessed.
