Mark 13:34-36

International Children’s Bible

³⁴ It is like a man who goes on a trip. He leaves his house and lets his servants take care of it. He gives each servant a special job to do. One servant has the work of guarding the door. The man tells this servant always to be watchful. This is what I am now telling you. ³⁵ You must always be ready. You don’t know when the owner of the house will come back. He might come in the evening, or at midnight, or in the early morning, or when the sun rises. ³⁶ He might come back quickly. If you are always ready, then he will not find you sleeping.
