Mark 13:34

34 "It's like a man who travels away from home, puts his servants in charge, each with his own task, and tells the doorkeeper to stay alert.

Mark 13:34 In-Context

32 However, when that day and hour will come, no one knows -- not the angels in heaven, not the Son, just the Father.
33 Stay alert! Be on your guard! For you do not know when the time will come.
34 "It's like a man who travels away from home, puts his servants in charge, each with his own task, and tells the doorkeeper to stay alert.
35 So stay alert! for you don't know when the owner of the house will come,
36 whether it will be evening, midnight, cockcrow or morning -- you don't want him to come suddenly and find you sleeping!
