In context
36 na muwe kama watu wanaomtazamia Bwana wao kutoka kwenye sherehe ya harusi, ili kwamba akija na kupiga hodi, wataweze kumfungulia mlango kwa haraka.
37 Wamebarikiwa wale watumishi, ambao Bwana atawakuta wako macho. Hakika atafunga nguo yake ndefu kwa mkanda, kisha atawaketisha chini kwa chakula, na kisha kuwahudumia.
38 Kama Bwana atakuja kwa zamu ya pili ya ulinzi ya usiku, au hata zamu ya tatu ya ulinzi, na kuwakuta wakiwa tayari, itakuwa ni heri kwa hao watumishi.
39 Zaidi ya hayo, mjue hili, kama bwana mwenye nyumba angelijua saa ambayo mwivi anakuja, asingeliruhusu nyumba yake ifunjwe.
40 Iweni tayari pia kwani hamjui ni wakati gani mwana wa Adamu atarudi.
41 Petro akasema, “Bwana, watuambia sisi wenyewe hii mifano, au unamwambia kila mtu.?
42 Bwana akawaambia, “Ni nani mtumwa mwaminifu au mwenye hekima ambaye bwana wake atamweka juu ya watumishi wengine, ili awagawie chakula chao kwa wakati mwafaka?
