Luke 12:38 in Context — Luke 12

36 Y vosotros semejantes á hombres que esperan cuando su señor ha de volver de las bodas; para que cuando viniere y llamare, luego le abran.

37 Bienaventurados aquellos siervos, á los cuales cuando el Señor viniere, hallare velando: de cierto os digo, que se ceñirá, y hará que se sienten á la mesa, y pasando les servirá.

38 Y aunque venga á la segunda vigilia, y aunque venga á la tercera vigilia, y [los] hallare así, bienaventurados son los tales siervos.

39 Esto empero sabed, que si supiese el padre de familia á qué hora había de venir el ladrón, velaría ciertamente, y no dejaría minar su casa.

40 Vosotros pues también, estad apercibidos; porque á la hora que no pensáis, el Hijo del hombre vendrá.
