Matthew 24:42-51
42Therefore, astay awake, for you do not know on what day byour Lord is coming. 43 cBut know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night dthe thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be eready, for fthe Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.45“Who then is gthe faithful and hwise servant, ▼
▼Greek bondservant; also verses 46, 48, 50
whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 jBlessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47Truly, I say to you, khe will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master lis delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants ▼▼Greek bondservants
and eats and drinks with ndrunkards, 50the master of that servant will come oon a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place pthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 21:34-36
Watch Yourselves
34“But watch yourselves qlest ryour hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and scares of this life, and tthat day come upon you suddenly ulike a trap. 35For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36But vstay awake at all times, wpraying that you may xhave strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and yto stand before the Son of Man.”
