Let your waists be girded about, and your lamps burning;
All Commentaries on Luke 12:35 Go To Luke 12
Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite
AD 550
The “sitting down” is taken to be the repose from many labors, a life without annoyance, the divine conversation of those that dwell in the region of light enriched with all holy affections, and an abundant pouring forth of all gifts, whereby they are filled with joy. For the reason why Jesus makes them to sit down, is that He might give them perpetual rest, and distribute to them blessings without number. Therefore it follows, And will pass over and serve them.
