Luke 12:39 in Context — Luke 12
37 Heureux ces serviteurs que le maître, à son arrivée, trouvera veillant! Je vous le dis en vérité, il se ceindra, les fera mettre à table, et s’approchera pour les servir.
38 Qu’il arrive à la deuxième ou à la troisième veille, heureux ces serviteurs, s’il les trouve veillant!
39 Sachez-le bien, si le maître de la maison savait à quelle heure le voleur doit venir, il veillerait et ne laisserait pas percer sa maison.
40 Vous aussi, tenez-vous prêts, car le Fils de l’homme viendra à l’heure où vous n’y penserez pas.
41 Pierre lui dit: Seigneur, est-ce à nous, ou à tous, que tu adresses cette parabole?
