Mark 13:33-37
King James Version
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

New American Standard Bible
33 “Watch out, (A)stay alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is. 34 (B)It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and [a]putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. 35 Therefore, (C)stay alert—for you do not know when the [b]master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or (D)when the rooster crows, or (E)in the morning— 36 so that he does not come suddenly and find you (F)asleep. 37 What I say to you I say to all: ‘(G)Stay alert!’”
