Luke 12:38-40

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁸ If he comes in the second watch (before midnight) or the third watch (after midnight), and finds them so, blessed (happy, fortunate, and ^[a]to be envied) are those servants!

³⁹ But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into.

⁴⁰ You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a ^[b]moment when you do not anticipate it.
