37. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them.
38. And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.
39. But know this: that if the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit his house to be broken into.
40. You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize."
