37Blessid be tho seruauntis, that whanne the lord schal come, he schal fynde wakynge. Treuli Y seie to you, that he schal girde hym silf, and make hem sitte to mete, and he schal go, and serue hem.
38And if he come in the secounde wakynge, and if he come in the thridde wakynge, and fynde so, tho seruauntis ben blessid.
39And wite ye this thing, for if an hosebonde man wiste, in what our the theef wolde come, sotheli he schulde wake, and not suffre his hous to be myned.
40And be ye redi, for in what our ye gessen not, mannus sone schal come.
41And Petre seide to hym, Lord, seist thou this parable to vs, or to alle?
42And the Lord seide, Who, gessist thou, is a trewe dispendere, and a prudent, whom the lord hath ordeyned on his meyne, to yyue hem in tyme mesure of whete?
43Blessid is that seruaunt, that the lord whanne he cometh, schal fynde so doynge.
44Verili Y seie to you, that on alle thingis that he weldith, he schal ordeyne hym.
