156:1
Luc. XII, 35-38. Sint lumbi vestri præcincti, et lucernæ ardentes *: et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis: ut cum venerit, et pulsaverit, confestim apcriant ei. Beati illi servi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes. Ameu dico vobis, quod præcinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis. Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati * servi illi.
(Luke 12:35-38) Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands: and you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
（路12:35-38）你們腰裡要束上帶，燈也要點著，自己好像僕人等候主人從婚筵上回來，他來到叩門，就立刻給他開門。主人來了，看見僕人警醒，那僕人就有福了。我實在告訴你們，主人必束上帶，叫他們坐席，自己前來伺候他們。或是二更天來，或是三更天來，看見僕人這樣，那僕人就有福了。
