29 So when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time has almost come.
30 You can be sure that some of the people of this generation will still be alive when all this happens.
31 The sky and the earth will not last forever, but my words will.
32 No one knows the day or the time. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows.
33 So watch out and be ready! You don't know when the time will come.
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.
