"or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly."
— Mark 13:36, NET Bible
“Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.”
“lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. ”
“lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.”
“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.”
Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come.
It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves in charge, assigning to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert.
Stay alert, then, because you do not know when the owner of the house will return– whether during evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn–
or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly.
What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”
