Matthew 24:37
NASB
Matt 24:37
&
~"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
Matt 24:38
&
~"For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Matt 24:39
&
and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Matt 24:40
&
~"Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
Matt 24:41
&
~"Two women {will be} grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
Matt 24:42
&
"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
Matt 24:43
&
~"But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Matt 24:44
&
~"For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think {He will.}
Matt 24:45
&
"Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?
Matt 24:46
&
~"Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.
Matt 24:47
&
~"Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Matt 24:48
&
~"But if that evil slave says in his heart, `My master is not coming for a long time,'
Matt 24:49
&
and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;
Matt 24:50
&
the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect {him} and at an hour which he does not know,
Matt 24:51
&
and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
