No One Knows the Day or Hour(A)

32 “But of that day and hour (B)no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the (C)Father. 33 (D)Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 (E)It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave (F)authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 (G)Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

The Day and Hour Unknown

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(A) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]!(B) 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(C) 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!’”(D)

The Importance of Watching(A)
