This Bible study is based on Bible Readings for the Home, a topical study presented in a question-and-answer format. The scripture references come from both the KJV and NIV translations. Additionally, we’ve provided links to each verse from the World English Bible for a more modern interpretation. We encourage you to follow along in your own Bible, reflect on the guided questions, and highlight the verses that speak to you. Feel free to share this study with your friends and family. Enjoy the journey!
33
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
34
“It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35
Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36
lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
37
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
7
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
37
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
