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 [For the son of man is] as a man taking a long journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work; and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping.

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