Matthew 24:36-44

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

But No One Knows The Day And Hour, So Keep Watching And Be Prepared Always

³⁶ “But no one knows about that day and hour— not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son— except the Father alone. ³⁷ For just as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. ³⁸ For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark, ³⁹ and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also^[a] will the coming of the Son of Man be. ⁴⁰ At-that-time there will be two men in the field— one is taken, and one is left; ⁴¹ two women grinding at the mill— one is taken^[b], and one is left. ⁴² Therefore keep-watching, because you do not know on which day your Lord is coming. ⁴³ And you know^[c] that saying, that if the house-master had known on which watch^[d] the thief was coming, he would have kept-watch^[e] and would not have allowed his house to be broken-into. ⁴⁴ For this reason you also be prepared ones— because the Son of Man is coming at an hour which you do not expect.
