32. “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33. Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves purses that do not grow old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
34. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35. “Let your waist be girded and your lights be burning,
36. and you be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door immediately for him when he comes and knocks.
37. Blessed are those servants whom the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will dress himself and have them sit down to dine, and he will come and serve them.
38. If he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and finds them so, blessed are those servants.
39. But know this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
