35aHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36a“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of1heaven,bbut My Father only.
37But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38aFor as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40aThen two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42aWatch therefore, for you do not know what1hour your Lord is coming.
43aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known what1hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44aTherefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant
45a“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food1in due season?
46aBlessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.
47Assuredly, I say to you that ahe will make him ruler over all his goods.
