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 As a man which is gone in to a straunge countrey and hath lefte hys housse and geven auctorite to his servautes and to every man hys worke and commaunded the porter to watche.

35 Watche therfore for ye knowe not when the master of ye housse will come whether at eve or at mydnyght whether at the cocke crowynge or in the daunynge:

36 lest yf he come sodenly he shuld fynde you slepynge.

37 And that I saye vnto you I saye vnto all men watche.
