Matthew 24:44

Matthew 24:44

42 ^aWatch therefore, for you do not know what¹ hour your Lord is coming.

43 ^aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known what¹ hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

44 ^aTherefore 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

45 ^a“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food¹ in due season?

46 ^aBlessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

47 Assuredly, I say to you that ^ahe will make him ruler over all his goods.

That ye think not (h ou dokeite wrai). It is useless to set the day and hour for Christ's coming. It is folly to neglect it. This figure of the thief will be used also by Paul concerning the unexpectedness of Christ's second coming (I Thessalonians 5:2). See also Matthew 24:50 for the unexpectedness of the coming with punishment for the evil servant.
