READ IN CONTEXT · BSB

Mark 13

³² No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

³³ Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.

³⁴ It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

³⁵ Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.

³⁶ Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
