42 Watch therefore: for all of you know not what hour your Lord does come.

and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;
44 Therefore be all of you also ready: for in such an hour as all of you think not the Son of man comes.
because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.
