Mat 24:36-44 | ISV | STEP | “No one knows when that day or hour will come—not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Matthew 24:36-44

36 “No one knows when that day or hour will come ^{▼▼Lit. about that day and hour}—not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, ^{▼▼Other mss. lack nor the Son} but only the Father.Zech 14:7; Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7; 1Thes 5:2; 2Pet 3:10 37 For just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. 38 In those days before the flood, people ^{▼▼Lit. they} were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.Gen 6:3-5; 7:5; Luke 17:26; 1Pet 3:20 39 They were unaware of what was happening ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks of what was happening} until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 At that time two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.Luke 17:34 41 Two women will be grinding grain at the mill. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.

42 “So keep on watching, because you don't know on what day your Lord is coming.Mark 13:33; Luke 21:36 43 But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known at what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.Luke 12:39; 1Thes 5:2; 2Pet 3:10; Rev 3:3; 16:15 44 So you, too, must be ready, because at an hour you are not expecting him the Son of Man will come.”Matt 25:13; 1Thes 5:6
