* "But no one knows about that day and hour , not even the angels in heaven , nor the Son , but only the Father . * "And as were the days of Noah , so will be the coming of the Son of man . * "For just as in the days before the deluge they were eating and drinking , marrying and giving in marriage , until the very day when Noah entered the ark , * "At that time there will be two men in the field ; one will be taken , and one will be left . * "Two women will be grinding at the mill ; one will be taken and the other left . * "Keep guard then , for you do not know the day on which your Master is coming . * "But know this , that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming , he would have been on his guard , and would not have allowed his house to be broken into . * "Therefore you also must be ready , for in an hour when you do not expect him , the Son of man is coming . * "Who , then , is the faithful and prudent slave , to whom his master has entrusted his household , to give them their food in due season ? * "Blessed is that slave whom his Master , when he comes , shall find so doing . * "In solemn truth I tell you that he will set him over all his property . * "But if , because he is a bad slave , he should say to himself , My Master is a long time in coming , * "and if he begins to beat his fellow slaves , and to eat or drink with the drunkards , * "on a day when he is not expecting him , and at an hour which he does not know , the Master of that servant will arrive * "and will scourge him severely , and allot him a place among hypocrites , where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ."
