The Holy Gospel According to Mark 13: 33-37

13:33	Take heed, phaphama, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
13:34	It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch.
13:35	Ngoko ke, phaphama, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: ngokuhlwa, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.
13:36	Kungenjalo, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping.
13:37	But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant.”
