32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

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.

32 But of that [exact] day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son [in His humanity], but the Father alone.

33 “Be on guard and stay constantly alert [a][and pray]; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. 34 It is like a man away on a journey, who when he left home put his servants in charge, each with his particular task, and also ordered the doorkeeper to be continually alert. 35 Therefore, be continually on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 [stay alert,] in case he should come suddenly and unexpectedly and find you asleep and unprepared. 37 What I say to you I say to everyone, ‘Be on the alert [stay awake and be continually cautious]!’”

  1. Mark 13:33 One early ms adds “and pray.”

32 Pero de aquel día o de aquella hora nadie sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino solo el Padre(A).

Exhortación a velar

33 »Estén alerta, velen(B); porque no saben cuándo es el tiempo señalado. 34 Es como un hombre que se fue de viaje, y al salir de su casa dejó a sus siervos encargados[a], asignándole a cada uno su tarea, y ordenó al portero que estuviera alerta(C). 35 Por tanto, velen(D), porque no saben cuándo viene el señor de la casa, si al atardecer, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo(E), o al amanecer(F); 36 no sea que venga de repente y los halle dormidos(G). 37 Y lo que a ustedes digo, a todos digo: ¡Velen(H)!».
