Matthew 24:36-51

36“But 1aboutG4012 that dayG2250 and hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 aloneG3441. 37For 2the 3comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be 4justG5618 likeG5618 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575. 38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 5marryingG1060 and givingG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 6NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 7understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 8comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40AtG5119 thatG5119 timeG5119 there will be twoG1417 men in the fieldG68; oneG1520 9will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 10will be leftG863. 4111TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 1213millG3458; oneG1520 14will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 15will be leftG863.

42“ThereforeG3767 16be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064. 43But 17be sureG1097 of thisG1565, that 18ifG1487 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 had knownG3609 19at whatG4169 timeG5438 ofG5438 theG5438 nightG5438 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have been on the alertG1127 and would not have allowedG1439 his houseG3614 to be brokenG1358 into. 44For thisG3778 reasonG1223 20you must be readyG2092 asG2532 wellG2532; for 21the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 you do not thinkG1380 He will.

45“22WhoG5101 thenG686 is the 23faithfulG4103 and 24sensibleG5429 slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 25masterG2962 26putG2525 inG2525 chargeG2525 of his householdG3610 slavesG3610, to giveG1325 them their foodG5160 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 46BlessedG3107 is that slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 27masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 47TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that 28he will putG2525 him inG2525 chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 48But ifG1437 that evilG2556 slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My 29masterG2962 30isG5549 notG5549 comingG5549 forG5549 aG5549 longG5549 timeG5549,’ 49and he beginsG757 to beatG5180 his fellowG4889 slavesG4889, and he eatsG2068 and drinksG4095 with those habituallyG3184 drunkG3184; 50then the 31masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 that he does not expectG4328, and at an hourG5610 that he does not knowG1097, 51and he will 32cutG1371 him inG1371 twoG1371 and assignG5087 33him a placeG3313 with the hypocritesG5273; inG1563 thatG1563 placeG1563 there will be 34weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
