ACV(i)
35 Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,
36 and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.
37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them.
38 And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.
39 But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.
