Mark 13:32-37
Holman Christian Standard Bible
No One Knows the Day or Hour
32 “Now concerning that day(A) or hour no one knows—neither the angels(B) in heaven nor the Son(C)—except the Father.(D) 33 Watch! Be alert![a] For you don’t know when the time(E) is coming.(F) 34 It is like(G) a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his slaves,(H) gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert. 35 Therefore be alert,(I) since you don’t know when the master(J) of the house is coming—whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning. 36 Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping.(K) 37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”

Mark 13:32-37
Common English Bible
32 “But nobody knows when that day or hour will come, not the angels in heaven and not the Son. Only the Father knows. 33 Watch out! Stay alert! You don’t know when the time is coming. 34 It is as if someone took a trip, left the household behind, and put the servants in charge, giving each one a job to do, and told the doorkeeper to stay alert. 35 Therefore, stay alert! You don’t know when the head of the household will come,whether in the evening or at midnight, or when the rooster crows in the early morning or at daybreak. 36 Don’t let him show up when you weren’t expecting and find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to all: Stay alert!”

New International Version
The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(A) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]!(B) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(C) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(D)
