³⁶ And you, be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast,^[a] so that when he^[b] comes back and knocks, they can open the door^[c] for him immediately. ³⁷ Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he returns! Truly I say to you that he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come by and^[d] serve them. ³⁸ Even if he should come back in the second or in the third watch of the night and find them^[e] like this, blessed are they!
