The Waiting Servants

(Lk 12:35-38; Mr 13:33-37)

Mr 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Mr 13:34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Mr 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Mr 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

Mr 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

▸ ± Lu 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning; ¢ Com Lu 12:35

Lu 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Lu 12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Lu 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
