Luke 12:39-41
Living Bible
39 “Everyone would be ready for him if they knew the exact hour of his return—just as they would be ready for a thief if they knew when he was coming. 40 So be ready all the time. For I, the Messiah,[a] will come when least expected.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you talking just to us or to everyone?”

41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
