Mark.13.32

"But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father.

Mark.13.32

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Mark.13.32

Mark.13.32

"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.

Mark.13.33

So keep a sharp lookout, for you don't know the timetable.

Mark.13.33

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

Mark.13.33

Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Mark.13.33

And since you don't know when they will happen, stay alert and keep watch.

Mark.13.34

It's like a man who takes a trip, leaving home and putting his servants in charge, each assigned a task, and commanding the gatekeeper to stand watch.

Mark.13.34

It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

Mark.13.34

It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

Mark.13.34

"The coming of the Son of Man can be compared with that of a man who left home to go on a trip. He gave each of his employees instructions about the work they were to do, and he told the gatekeeper to watch for his return.

Mark.13.35

So, stay at your post, watching. You have no idea when the homeowner is returning, whether evening, midnight, cockcrow, or morning.

Mark.13.35

"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.

Mark.13.35

Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning--

Mark.13.35

So keep a sharp lookout! For you do not know when the homeowner will return--at evening, midnight, early dawn, or late daybreak.

Mark.13.36

You don't want him showing up unannounced, with you asleep on the job.

Mark.13.36

If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.

Mark.13.36

lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

Mark.13.36

Don't let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning.

Mark.13.37

I say it to you, and I'm saying it to all: Stay at your post. Keep watch."

Mark.13.37

What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'"

Mark.13.37

And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"

Mark.13.37

What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch for his return!"

It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly.

Mark.14.6

But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.

But Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. Why berate her for doing such a good thing to me?

Mark.14.7

You will have the poor with you every day for the rest of your lives. Whenever you feel like it, you can do something for them. Not so with me.

Mark.14.7

The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.

Mark.14.7

For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.

Mark.14.7

You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not be here with you much longer.
