21 Mary said to Jesus, "What are your disciples like?"
He said, They are like little children living in a field that is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, "Give us back our field." They take off their clothes in front of them in order to give it back to them, and they return their field to them. For this reason I say, if the owners of a house know that a thief is coming, they will be on guard before the thief arrives, and will not let the thief break into their house of their domain and steal their possessions. As for you, then, be on guard against the world. Prepare yourselves with great strength, so the robbers cannot find a way to get to you, for the trouble you expect will come. Let there be among you a person who understands. When the crop ripened, he came quickly carrying a sickle and harvested it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!
