"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.
"Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
"Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.
"Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.
"Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.
"Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.
"But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
"You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."
This may be oversimplified, and maybe I'm just becoming a master of the all-too-obvious-to-others, but in v.37, is this (or could it be) a subtle foretelling of the Last Supper/Eucharist? Or am I stretching too far?
