35 你们腰里要束上带，灯也要点着。
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning.
36 自己好像仆人等候主人从婚姻的筵席上回来。他来到叩门，就立刻给他开门。
36 “Like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.
37 主人来到，看见仆人警醒，那仆人就有福了。我实在告诉你们，主人必叫他们坐席，自己束上带，进前伺候他们。
37 “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.
38 或是二更天来，或是三更天来，看见仆人这样，那仆人就有福了。
38 “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.
39 家主若知道贼什么时候来，就必警醒，不容贼挖透房屋，这是你们所知道的。
39 “But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 你们也要预备，因为你们想不到的时候，人子就来了。”
40 “You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
