33Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;

36and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.

38And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so blessed are those [servants].

39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
