New Testament

Matthew 24:40-48 Common English Bible (CEB)

40. At that time there will be two men in the field. One will be taken and the other left.

41. Two women will be grinding at the mill. One will be taken and the other left.

42. Therefore, stay alert! You don’t know what day the Lord is coming.

43. But you understand that if the head of the house knew at what time the thief would come, he would keep alert and wouldn’t allow the thief to break into his house.

44. Therefore, you also should be prepared, because the Human One will come at a time you don’t know.

45. “Who then are the faithful and wise servants whom their master puts in charge of giving food at the right time to those who live in his house?

46. Happy are those servants whom the master finds fulfilling their responsibilities when he comes.

47. I assure you that he will put them in charge of all his possessions.

48. But suppose those bad servants should say to themselves, My master won’t come until later.
