Luke 12:37

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.
Read Chapter 12

Cornelius a Lapide

AD 1637
Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching. That Isaiah , with their loins girt and their lamps in their hands and expecting Him as He goes before, for He will give them their due reward, eternal blessedness, that they may enjoy the vision of God and all glory and joy for ever and ever. Hence the following explanation.

Irenaeus of Lyons

AD 202
And if He shall come in the evening watch, and find them so, blessed are they, because He shall make them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they."

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
