Luke 12:40
Compare all
38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would1 have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.  
40 aTherefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”  
41 Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”
42 And the Lord said, a“Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food1 in due season?  
43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
44 aTruly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.  
45 aBut if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,  
46 the master of that servant will come on a aday when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Luke 12:40

Be ye therefore ready also - It is pretty evident that what is related here, from Luke 12:35 to Luke 12:49, was spoken by our Lord at another time. See Matthew 24:42 (note), etc., and the notes there.
