Matthew 24:44 Context
42¶ Watch therfore, for ye know not what houre your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the good man of the house had knowen in what watch the thiefe would come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be broken vp. 44Therefore be yee also ready: for in such an houre as you thinke not, the sonne of man commeth. 45Who then is a faithfull and wise seruant, whom his Lord hath made ruler ouer his houshold, to giue them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that seruant, whome his Lord when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
