Mark 13:34-36
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
34 It is like a man away-on-a-journey. Having left his house and having given authority to his slaves— to each[a] as to his work— he also commanded the doorkeeper that he should be keeping-watch. 35 Therefore, keep watching— for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether evening[b] or midnight or rooster-crowing or early-morning— 36 that having come suddenly, he may not find you sleeping.

Mark 13:34-36
New International Version
34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(A) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
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. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.
