Matthew 24:36-44
Legacy Standard Bible
36 “But (A)of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 For (B)just as the days of Noah were, so the (C)coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (D)marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that (E)Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not [a]understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the (F)coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then there will be two in the field; one [b]will be taken, and one [c]will be left. 41 (G)Two women will be grinding grain at the [d](H)mill; one [e]will be taken and one [f]will be left.
Be Ready for His Coming
42 “Therefore (I)stay awake, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 But [g]be sure of this, that (J)if the head of the house had known (K)at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed his house to be [h]broken into. 44 For this reason (L)you also must be ready; for (M)the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

New International Version
The Day and Hour Unknown(A)(B)
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father.(C) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(D) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(E) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(F) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(G) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(H)
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(I) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(J) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(K) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
