32 [ref]“But as for the date or time when all this will happen, only the father knows that—even the son and messengers don’t know. 33 So watch out, observe current events, and be praying, because you won’t know exactly when all this will happen. 34 [ref]It can all be compared to a man who was about to leave his house and go on a trip. Before he leaves, he gives certain jobs and responsibilities to his various slaves, and instructs his security guard to stay alert. 35 So you all watch and stay alert, because you don’t know when the master of the house might return—perhaps one evening or at midnight, or at dawn or maybe mid-morning. 36 You certainly don’t want to be caught napping when he comes. 37 And what I’m telling you now, I tell everyone: stay alert and watch.”
