Matthew 24:44

Readiness at Any Hour

43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
