and it will not end until he has done everything he intends to do. In days to come his people will understand this clearly."

Watch out, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come.

So then, you also must always be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him.

And Jesus concluded, "Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour.

It will be like a man who goes away from home on a trip and leaves his servants in charge, after giving to each one his own work to do and after telling the doorkeeper to keep watch.

Watch, then, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming---it might be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or at sunrise.

And you can be sure that if the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, he would not let the thief break into his house.

And you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him."

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish.

Remember, then, what you were taught and what you heard; obey it and turn from your sins. If you do not wake up, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not even know the time when I will come.

"Listen! I am coming like a thief ! Happy is he who stays awake and guards his clothes, so that he will not walk around naked and be ashamed in public!"
