Mark 13:36

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

Mark 13:36 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:36

Lest coming suddenly
Unthought of, and unexpected, at an unawares:

he find you sleeping;
inactive in the exercise of grace, and negligent in the performance of duty; unprepared for his coming, and unfit for service.

Mark 13:36 In-Context

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.
37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
