24:36 “But as for that day and hour no one knows it – not even the angels in heaven ¹  – except the Father alone. 24:37 For just like the days of Noah ²  were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 24:38 For in those days before the flood, people ³  were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. 24:39 And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. ⁴  It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁵  24:40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left. ⁶  24:41 There will be two women grinding grain with a mill; ⁷  one will be taken and one left.

24:42 “Therefore stay alert, because you do not know on what day ⁸  your Lord will come. 24:43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief ⁹  was coming, he would have been alert and would not have let his house be broken into. 24:44 Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. ¹⁰
