- 12:48 But a servant who did not know, though he did what deserved a beating, will get a lighter one. Much will be asked of everyone who has been given much. And when much has been put in someone's care, even more will be asked of that person. 2
- 12:50 But first I must go through a baptism, and I am under great strain until it is over! 2

- 12:34 Your heart will be wherever your treasure is. 1
- 12:35 Stay ready for work, with your belt tied and your lamp lit. 1
