Mark 13:34-36

New Testament for Everyone

³⁴ It’s like a man who goes away from home: he leaves his house, giving each of his slaves authority for their own tasks; and he commands the doorkeeper to keep watch. ³⁵ Keep watch, then, because you don’t know when the master of the house is going to come. It might be at evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning! ³⁶ You don’t want him to come suddenly and find you asleep.
