2"Do you see these large buildings?" Jesus responded. "Not one stone here will be left on another that will not be torn down."

35So keep on watching, because you don't know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening, at three o'clock in the morning, or at dawn.

35Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.

36Otherwise, he may come suddenly and find you asleep.

36Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.

37I'm telling you what I'm telling everyone: Be alert!"

37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
