³² “No one knows when that day or ·time [hour] will be, not the angels in heaven, not even the Son. Only the Father knows. ³³ ·Be careful [Watch out; Be on guard]! Always be ·ready^[a] [alert; watching], because you don’t know when that [appointed] time will be. ³⁴ It is like a man who goes on a ·trip [journey]. He leaves his house and lets his servants take care of it, giving each one ·a special job [his own work] to do. The man tells the servant guarding the door always to be watchful. ³⁵ So ·always be ready [stay alert; keep watching], because you don’t know when the ·owner [master; lord] of the house will come back. It might be in the evening, or at midnight, or ·in the morning while it is still dark [^Lwhen the rooster crows], or when the sun rises. ³⁶ Always be ready. Otherwise he might come back suddenly and find you sleeping. ³⁷ I tell you this, and I say this to everyone: ‘Be ·ready [alert; watchful]!’”
