Let your waists be girded about, and your lamps burning;
All Commentaries on Luke 12:35 Go To Luke 12
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
"Let your loins, therefore, be girded about, and your lights burning, and ye like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding."
And, "Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning, and ye like unto men that wait for their Lord, when He returns from the wedding, that when He cometh and knocketh, they may open to Him. Blessed is that servant whom his Lord, when He cometh, shall find so doing."
