Mark 13:33

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter. “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.

“Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour.

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with Me one hour?

You also be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”

“Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly

Besides this, knowing the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Be alert, stand firm in the faith, act like a man, be strong.

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.

Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and by it, defiling many.

Now the end of all things is near; therefore, be serious and disciplined for prayer.

Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.

Be alert and strengthen what remains, which is about to die, for I have not found your works complete before My God.

“Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed

so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame

is blessed.”
