34 Porque aonde estiver vosso tesouro, ali estará também vosso coração.
35 Estejam devidamente vestidos vossos quadris, e acesas as lâmpadas.
36 E sede vós semelhantes às pessoas que esperam a seu senhor quando voltar do casamento; para que quando ele vier, e bater, logo possam lhe abrir.
37 Bem-aventurados aqueles servos, os quais, quando o Senhor vier, [os] achar vigiando; em verdade vos digo que ele se vestirá, e os fará se sentarem [à mesa] ,e chegando-se, os servirá.
38 E ainda que venha à segunda vigília; e [que] venha a terceira vigília, e assim [os] achar, bem-aventurados são tais servos.
