42 Våk derfor! for I vet ikke hvad dag eders Herre kommer.

43 Men det skal I vite at dersom husbonden visste i hvilken nattevakt tyven kom, da vilde han våke, og ikke la nogen bryte inn i sitt hus.

44 Derfor vær også I rede! for Menneskesønnen kommer i den time I ikke tenker.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 44 Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
