Greek bondservants
in charge, feach with his work, and commands gthe doorkeeper to stay awake.
35 hTherefore stay awakefor you do not know when the master of the house will come, iin the evening, or jat midnight, or kwhen the rooster crows,
That is, the third watch of the night, between midnight and 3 a.m.
or min the morning
