Matthew 24:42-47
English Standard Version Anglicised
42 Therefore, (A)stay awake, for you do not know on what day (B)your Lord is coming. 43 (C)But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night (D)the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be (E)ready, for (F)the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
45 “Who then is (G)the faithful and (H)wise servant,[a] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 (I)Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, (J)he will set him over all his possessions.

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. 44 So you also must be ready,(C) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(D) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(E) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(F)
Matthew 24:42-47
King James Version
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
