38Then he said to them, cMy soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and dwatch

39And going a little farther he fell on his face fand prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let gthis cup pass from me; hnevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 40And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 iWatch and jpray that you kmay not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

For you do not know when the time will come.

in charge, reach with his work, and commands sthe doorkeeper to stay awake.
35 tTherefore stay awakefor you do not know when the master of the house will come, uin the evening, or vat midnight, or wwhen the rooster crows,

You Must Be Ready

Greek Let your loins stay girded; compare Exodus 12:11
and aekeep your lamps burning,
36and be like men who are afwaiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and agknocks. 37 ahBlessed are those servants
Greek bondservants
whom the master finds ajawake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, akhe will dress himself for service and alhave them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.
38If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 amBut know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour anthe thief was coming, he
Some manuscripts add would have stayed awake and
would not have left his house to be broken into.
40You also must be apready, for aqthe Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
