Mark 13:36

36 Lest coming on a sudden, he 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 Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning):

36 Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
