Luke 12:22-59 - ESV Bible - And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell...

Do Not Be Anxious

22 And he said to his disciples, ¹“Therefore I tell you, ²do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.

23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

24 ³Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. ⁴Of how much more value are you than the birds!

25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his ⁵span of life? ^a

26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, ^b yet I tell you, ⁶even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, ⁷O you of little faith!

29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor ⁸be worried.

30 For ⁹all the nations of the world seek after these things, and ¹⁰your Father knows that you need them.

31 Instead, ¹¹seek ¹²his^c kingdom, ¹³and these things will be added to you.

32 ¹⁴“Fear not, little ¹⁵flock, for ¹⁶it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you ¹⁷the kingdom.

33 ¹⁸Sell your possessions, and ¹⁹give to the needy. ²⁰Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with ²¹a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34 ²²For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You Must Be Ready

35 ²³“Stay dressed for action^d and ²⁴keep your lamps burning,

36 and be like men who are ²⁵waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and ²⁶knocks.

37 ²⁷Blessed are those servants^e whom the master finds ²⁸awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, ²⁹he will dress himself for service and ³⁰have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.

38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!

39 ³¹But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour ³²the thief was coming, he^f would not have left his house to be broken into.

40 You also must be ³³ready, for ³⁴the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. ”

41 Peter said, “Lord, ³⁵are you telling this parable for us or for all? ”

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is ³⁶the faithful and ³⁷wise ³⁸manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?

43 ³⁹Blessed is that servant^g whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

44 Truly, I say to you, ⁴⁰he will set him over all his possessions.

45 But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master ⁴¹is delayed in coming, ’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and ⁴²get drunk,

46 the master of that servant will come ⁴³on a day when he does not expect him and ⁴⁴at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.

47 ⁴⁵And that servant who ⁴⁶knew his master’s will but ⁴⁷did not get ready ⁴⁸or act according to his will, will receive a ⁴⁹severe beating.

48 ⁵⁰But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, ⁵¹will receive a light beating. ⁵²Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.

Not Peace, but Division

49 ⁵³“I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!

50 ⁵⁴I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how ⁵⁵great is my distress until it is accomplished!

51 ⁵⁶Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? ⁵⁷No, I tell you, but rather division.

52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.

53 They will be divided, ⁵⁸father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. ”

Interpreting the Time

54 He also said to the crowds, ⁵⁹“When you see ⁶⁰a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming. ’ And so it happens.

55 And ⁶¹when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be ⁶²scorching heat, ’ and it happens.

56 You hypocrites! ⁶³You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

Settle with Your Accuser

57 “And why ⁶⁴do you not judge ⁶⁵for yourselves what is right?

58 ⁶⁶As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.

59 I tell you, ⁶⁷you will never get out until you have paid the very last ⁶⁸penny. ” ^h
