012:030 For though the nations of the world pursue these things,
as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
012:031 But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things
shall be given you in addition.
012:032 "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure
in giving you the Kingdom.
012:033 Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
012:034 For where your wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
012:035 "Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
012:036 and be yourselves like men waiting for their master— on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast— that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.
012:037 Blessed are those servants, whom their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on them.
012:038 And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed are they.
012:039 Of this be sure, that if the master of the house had known what time the robber was coming, he would have kept awake and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
