13 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ Mark Reference
32Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ἢ τῆς ὡρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἀγγελοι ἐν οὐρανῷ οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ. 'But about that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son; only the Father.
The Unknown Day and Hour Mk.13.32-37 | Mt.24.36-44 | Lk.17.26-30 | Lk.17.34-36
33βλέπετε ἀγρυπνεῖτε· οὐκ οἰδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν. 'Be alert, be wakeful. You do not know when the moment comes.  
34ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀπόδημος ἀφεὶς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ δοὺς τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐξουσίαν, ἑκάστῳ τὸ ἐργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ θυρωρῷ ἐνετείλατο ἵνα γρηγορῇ. It is like a man away from home: he has left his house and put his servants in charge, each with his own work to do, and he has ordered the doo rkeeper to stay a 
35γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, οὐκ οἰδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ κύριος τῆς οἰκίας ἐρχεται, ἢ ὀψὲ ἢ μεσονύκτιον ἢ ἀλεκτοροφωνίας ἢ πρωΐ, Keep awake, then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming.  
36μὴ ἐλθὼν ἐξαίφνης εὑρῃ ὑμᾶς καθεύδοντας. Evening or midnight, cock-crow or early dawn - if he comes suddenly, he must not find you asleep.  
37ὃ δὲ ὑμῖν λέγω, πᾶσιν λέγω, γρηγορεῖτε. And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep awake.'
