But (de) the (ho) Father (patēr) of you (humōn) has seen (oiden) that (hoti) you need (chrēzete) these things (toutōn).
Luke 12:31 (LIT/UBS4) Moreover (plēn), search (zēteite) for the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of him (autou), and (kai) these things (tauta) shall be added (prostethēsetai) to you (humin).

Truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) he shall girdle himself around (perizōsetai), and (kai) he shall recline them up347 (anaklinei autous), and (kai) having passed alongside (parelthōn) he shall minister (diakonēsei) to them (autois)!
Luke 12:38 (LIT/UBS4) And if perhaps (kan) he may come (elthē) in (en) the (tē) second (deutera) watch (phulakē), and if perhaps (kan) in (en) the (tē) third (tritē), and (kai) he may find (heurē) [them, v37, RE] thusly (houtōs), happy (makarioi) [disciples, v22, RE] are (eisin) those (ekeinoi) [disciples, v22, RE]!
