Matteus 24,43

The return of ChristWisdom

41 To kvinner skal male på kvernen; den ene blir tatt med, og den andre blir latt tilbake.

42 "Våk derfor, for dere vet ikke hvilken dag deres Herre kommer.

Men forstå dette: Hvis husets herre hadde visst når på natten tyven kom, ville han ha våket og ikke latt huset bli brutt opp.

44 Derfor må også dere være rede, for Menneskesønnen kommer i en time dere ikke venter det.

45 "Hvem er da den tro og kloke tjeneren, som herren har satt over sitt husfolk for å gi dem mat i rette tid?
