13:35. “watch therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning),

13:36. “otherwise he might come suddenly and find you sleeping.

13:37. “What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch.'”

(cf. Luke 12:35 - 12:38)

12:36. “You yourselves are like men who wait for their lord when he shall return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

'''12:37. “Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He comes, shall find watching. Amen I say to you that He will gird Himself and make them sit down to eat and serve them at table.'''

12:38. “If He shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants.
