text: and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?

text: and 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.


text: Blessed 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.

text: And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?


text: Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.


text: Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.


text: But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;


text: the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.


text: And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

text: And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
