Luke 12: 39-48 - 'The Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 2849 (in 'And lead us not into temptation') - The Holy Spirit constantly seeks to awaken us to keep watch. Finally, this petition takes on all its dramatic meaning in relation to the last temptation of our earthly battle; it asks for final perseverance. "Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake" (abbreviated).

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study, and this is the podcast where we take a really |
| 0:16.1 | in-depth look at the gospel reading from today's Catholic Mass. And today is a really interesting reading. |
| 0:22.9 | So we're looking at Luke chapter 12 verses 39 to 48. And there's a lot to say here. So let's have a |
| 0:30.1 | read of it and then we'll unpack it verse by verse. Jesus said to his disciples, |
| 0:35.6 | You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what hour the burglar would come, |
| 0:42.5 | he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. |
| 0:46.6 | You too must stand ready because the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. |
| 0:53.5 | Peter said, Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone? |
| 0:59.6 | The Lord replied, what sort of steward then is faithful and wise enough for the master to place him |
| 1:06.6 | over his household to give him their allowance of food at the proper time. |
| 1:11.8 | Happy that servant if his master's arrival finds him at this employment. |
| 1:17.3 | I tell you truly, he will place him over everything he owns. |
| 1:21.8 | But as for the servant who says to himself, |
| 1:24.3 | my master is taking his time, coming, and sets about beating the men's servants |
| 1:29.3 | and the maids, and eating and drinking and getting drunk, his master will come on a day |
| 1:34.9 | he does not expect, and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to |
| 1:41.4 | the same fate as the unfaithful. The servant who knows what his |
| 1:46.6 | master wants but has not even started to carry out those wishes will receive very many |
| 1:52.3 | strokes off the lash. The one who did not know but deserves to be beaten for what he has done, |
| 1:59.1 | will receive fewer strokes. When a man has had a great deal |
| 2:03.6 | given him, a great deal will be demanded of him. When a man has a great deal given him on trust, |
| 2:10.4 | even more will be expected of him. So a really interesting reading. There's a lot here that we could unpack. Let's start by thinking |
