Matthew 24:42-43
New International Version
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(A) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(B) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

Mark 13:33-37
New International Version
33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]!(A) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(B) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(C)

Luke 12:37-48
New International Version
37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(A) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(B) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(C) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(D) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(E) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(F) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(G) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(H) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
