Luke 12:35-40

Let your loins be girded; the girding up of the loins was a preparation for action. Be ready for duty.

Your lights burning; be always watchful. 35-46. The faithful servant. Mt 24:42-51. When he will return from the wedding; either his own wedding, in which he is the bridegroom, or the wedding of a friend. Weddings were attended in the night; and servants were accustomed to sit up and wait for their master's coming, that on his arrival they might immediately open the doors. So our Lord told his disciples to watch, and pointed out the blessedness of those who should do so. Mt 25:1-13. Come forth and serve them; he will greatly honor and bless them. Second watch; from nine in the evening to twelve.

Third watch; from twelve to three in the morning. Good man of the house; master of the house.
