Mark 13:32-37

No One Knows That Day or Hour

32 “But concerning that day or that hour, ¹no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, ²nor the Son, ³but only the Father.

33 ⁴Be on guard, ⁵keep awake. ^[a] For you do not know when the time will come.

34 ⁶It is like a man ⁷going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants^[b] in charge, ⁸each with his work, and commands ⁹the doorkeeper to stay awake.

35 ¹⁰Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, ¹¹in the evening, or ¹²at midnight, or ¹³when the rooster crows, ^[c] or ¹⁴in the morning—

36 lest ¹⁵he come suddenly and ¹⁶find you asleep.

37 And what I say to you I say to all: ¹⁷Stay awake. ”
