Matthew 24:36-44
New Living Translation

36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[a] Only the Father knows.

37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

40 “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.

42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43 Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

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.
