Matthew 24:42-47 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

42. "So keep watch. You do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43. You must understand something. Suppose the owner of the house knew what time of night the robber was coming. Then he would have kept watch. He would not have let his house be broken into.

44. So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don't expect him.

45. "Suppose a master puts one of his servants in charge of the other servants in his house. The servant's job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise servant for this.

46. It will be good for the servant if the master finds him doing his job when the master returns.

47. What I'm about to tell you is true. The master will put that servant in charge of everything he owns.
