Matthew 24:36-44

No One Knows That Day and Hour

³⁶ _l "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of ₁ heaven, _m but My Father only. ³⁷ "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ³⁸ _n "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ "and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ⁴⁰ _o "Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ "Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. ⁴² _p "Watch therefore, for you do not know what ₂ hour your Lord is coming. ⁴³ _q "But know this, that if the master of the house had known what ₃ hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ _r "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
