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) —but only 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 servants,(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, when he comes suddenly he might find you sleeping.(K) 37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”

33 “Watch out, (B)stay alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is. 34 (C)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, (D)stay alert—for you do not know when the [b]master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or (E)when the rooster crows, or (F)in the morning— 36 so that he does not come suddenly and find you (G)asleep. 37 What I say to you I say to all: ‘(H)Stay alert!’”
