MATTHEW 24:43 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.”
But know this, if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. The thief-in-the-night image for the coming: the householder who knew when the thief was coming would have stayed awake and been prepared. But the thief comes when the householder does not know — precisely the condition that makes constant watchfulness necessary.
