The Necessity for Watchfulness

³² “But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father.^(A)

⁷ He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.^(A)

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.^[a](A)

⁴⁴ Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.^(A)

¹⁵ (“See, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and is clothed,^[a] not going about naked and exposed to shame.”)^(A)

² For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.^(A)

¹³ Keep awake, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.^[a](A)

⁴² Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day^[a] your Lord is coming.^(A)

⁷ And there shall be continuous day (it is known to the Lord), not day and not night, for at evening time there shall be light.^(A)
