Mark 13:34-36

Expanded Bible

³⁴ It is like a man who goes on a ·trip [journey]. He leaves his house and lets his servants take care of it, giving each one ·a special job [his own work] to do. The man tells the servant guarding the door always to be watchful. ³⁵ So ·always be ready [stay alert; keep watching], because you don’t know when the ·owner [master; lord] of the house will come back. It might be in the evening, or at midnight, or ·in the morning while it is still dark [^Lwhen the rooster crows], or when the sun rises. ³⁶ Always be ready. Otherwise he might come back suddenly and find you sleeping.
