Luke 12:32 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 12:32

30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father ^aknows that you need these things.

31 ^aBut seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for ^ait is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33 ^aSell what you have and give ^balms; ^cprovide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.

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

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

35 ^a“Let your waist be girded and ^byour lamps burning;

36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

37 ^aBlessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

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?
