Mark 13:32-37

The Voice

³² Take heed: no one knows the day or hour when the end is coming. The messengers in heaven don’t know, nor does the Son. Only the Father knows.

³³ So be alert. Watch for it [and pray,]^[a] for you never know when that time might approach.

³⁴ This situation is like a man who went on a journey; when he departed, he left his servants in charge of the house. Each of them had his own job to do; and the man left the porter to stand at the door, watching. ³⁵ So stay awake, because no one knows when the master of the house is coming back. It could be in the evening or at midnight or when the rooster crows or in the morning. ³⁶ Stay awake; be alert so that when he suddenly returns, the master won’t find you sleeping.

³⁷ The teaching I am giving the four of you now is for everyone who will follow Me: stay awake, and keep your eyes open.
