Matthew 24:49 - Matthew 25:2
49 And what I say unto one, I say unto all men; Watch, therefore, for ye know not at what hour hour Lord doth come.
50 But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to have been broken up; but would have been ready.
51 Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
52 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
53 Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing;
54 And, verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
55 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; the Lord of the servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
56 And thus cometh the end of the wicked according to the prophecy of Moses, saying, They should be cut off from among the people. But the end of the earth is not yet; but bye and bye.
