Stay alert for the coming of the master

Mark 13:32–37

Mat 24:36–44

13:32 Stay alert for the coming of the master

(Mat. 24:36-44)

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. 33So 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. 35So 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. 36You certainly don’t want to be caught napping when he comes. 37And what I’m telling you now, I tell everyone: stay alert and watch.


24:36 Not/None known the day of return din

(Mark 13:32-37, Luke 17:26-30)

36No one knows the exact day or time—not even the messengers in the heavens or the son—only the father knows it. 37[ref]The coming of humanity’s child will be just like it was in Noah’s time. 38In the days leading up to the flood, people were eating and drinking, and marrying and getting engaged—right until the very day that Noah entered the barge. 39[ref]They didn’t realise that anything was coming until the flood came and took everything away. It’ll be just like that at the coming of humanity’s child. 40Two people will be working out on the farm—one will be taken and one left behind. 41Two people will be grinding grain—one will be taken and one left behind. 42So be watching, because none of you know exactly when your master will return. 43[ref]But you do know that if the home-owner knew when the thief would come, he would be there watching and not allow the thief to break into the house. 44Because of that, you all should also be ready because otherwise you wouldn’t realise that humanity’s child is coming at that time.

Mat 24:36:

24:36 Not/None known the day of return din

(Mark 13:32-37, Luke 17:26-30)

36No one knows the exact day or time—not even the messengers in the heavens or the son—only the father knows it.

Luk 12:36-38:

36[ref]like someone who’s waiting for their master. When he leaves the wedding celebrations and comes and knocks, you’ll be ready to immediately open the door. 37The master would bless the slaves that are ready, watching for when he arrives. I can assure you that he’ll dress himself and then he’ll seat them on couches and come and serve them there himself. 38If he arrives around midnight or even in the small hours of the morning, he’ll find them ready. Yes, they’ll be blessed.


12:36: Mrk 13:34-36.

Gen 6:5-8:

5Then Yahweh saw that the humankind’s wickedness on the earth was extensive, and that every inclination of their inner thoughts was only evil all day long.[ref] 6So Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth and he was deeply saddened, 7so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.” 8However, Yahweh noticed Noah and was pleased with him.


6:5-8: Mat 24:37; Luk 17:26; 1Pe 3:20.

Gen 7:6-24:

6Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth, 7and he went into the wooden chest along with his wife, his three sons and their wives, in order to escape from the floodwaters.[ref] 8‘Clean’ and ‘unclean’ animals, the birds, and everything that lived on the ground 9came to Noah in male and female pairs and went into the chest, just like God had instructed Noah. 10Then when the seven days were up, water started to flood the earth.

11When Noah was 600 years old (and around the beginning of May), deep underwater geysers in the ocean started spouting out water, and the skies began to drop heavy rain[ref] 12that continued day and night for forty days. 13That was the very day that Noah and Yafet and Shem and Ham and their wives had all entered the wooden chest. 14They had with them every kind of living creature, including every kind of livestock and every other kind of creature that lives on the land, and every kind of bird and everything else that flies. 15They had come to Noah in order to enter the chest—two by two of every creature with the breath of life. 16So pairs of males and females of every creature entered just as God had instructed Noah, then Yahweh closed the door and they were shut in.

17Then the flood came onto the earth for forty days, and the water rose so that the wooden chest was lifted up right off the land. 18The water continued to rise and get deeper on the earth, and the chest floated along on top of the water. 19Eventually the water on the earth got so deep that all the high mountains everywhere under the sky were under water— 20in fact the water rose over seven metres above the tops of them. 21By then every living creature that lived on the earth had drowned—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all humankind. 22Everything that had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils, everything that lived on dry land, died. 23That’s how Yahweh completely annihilated every living creature off the earth, including humankind and livestock and crawling creatures and even the birds. Everything was annihilated except for Noah and those with him in the floating chest, 24and the earth remained in full flood for 150 days.


7:7: Mat 24:38-39; Luk 17:27.

7:11: 2Pe 3:6.

Luk 12:39-40:

39[ref]But you should also know this: if the home-owner knew what time the thief would arrive, he’d be ready watching and not allow his house to be burgled. 40So you all need to be ready because you don’t know when I, humanity’s child, am going to arrive.
