Mark 13:34 in Context — Mark 13
32 Porém daquele dia e hora ninguém sabe, nem os anjos que estão no céu, nem o Filho, a não ser somente o Pai.
33 Olhai, vigiai, e orai; porque não sabeis quando será o tempo.
34 Assim como o homem que, partindo-se para fora de sua terra, deixou sua casa, e deu autoridade aos seus servos, e a cada um o seu trabalho, e mandou ao porteiro que vigiasse,
35 assim também vigiai, porque não sabeis quando virá o Senhor da casa; se à tarde, se à meia-noite, se ao cantar do galo, se pela manhã,
36 para que ele não venha de repente, e vos ache dormindo.
