27Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
36Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
38Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
39But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
41“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
— Luke 12:27-41
