34It's like a man who went on a trip. As he left home, he put his servants in charge, each with his own work, and he ordered the doorkeeper to be alert.

34It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

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.

35"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.

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

36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.

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

37What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'"
