Luke 12:27-41

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?”
