35 Be ready and keep your lamps burning
36 just like those servants who wait up for their master to return from a wedding feast. As soon as he comes and knocks, they open the door for him.
37 Servants are fortunate if their master finds them awake and ready when he comes! I promise you that he will get ready and make his servants sit down so that he can serve them.
38 Those servants are really fortunate if their master finds them ready, even though he comes late at night or early in the morning.
39 You would not let a thief break into your home, if you knew when the thief was coming.
40 So always be ready! You don't know when the Son of Man will come.
41 Peter asked Jesus, “Did you say this just for us or for everyone?”
