Luke 12:35-37

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Watchful Slaves

³⁵ “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit;^{(A) 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.^(B)
