34 It is like what happens when a man goes away for a while and places his servants in charge of everything. He tells each of them what to do, and he orders the guard to keep alert.
35 So be alert! You don't know when the master of the house will come back. It could be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or in the morning.
36 But if he comes suddenly, don't let him find you asleep.
37 I tell everyone just what I have told you. Be alert!
