American Standard Version
"lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. "
— Mark 13:36, American Standard Version
“Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.”
“lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.”
“or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly.”
“Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.”
“For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.”
“Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.”
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.
Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
