No One Knows That Day and Hour

36 “But concerning that day and hour ^gno one knows, not even the angels of heaven, ^hnor the Son,^{1 i}but the Father only.

42 Therefore, ^pstay awake, for you do not know on what day ^qyour Lord is coming. 43 ^rBut know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night ^sthe thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ^tready, for ^uthe Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

35 ^rTherefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, ^sin the evening, or ^sat midnight, or ^twhen the rooster crows,¹ or ^uin the morning— 36 lest ^vhe come suddenly and ^wfind you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: ^rStay awake.”

You Must Be Ready

35 ^a“Stay dressed for action¹ and ^bkeep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are ^cwaiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and ^dknocks.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely ^sI am coming soon.” Amen. ^tCome, Lord Jesus!
