It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
Mark 13:34 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 13.
30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.
34 It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
36 Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
