Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. The you must be ready conclusion from the thief analogy: the unexpected hour of the coming makes constant readiness the only rational response. The hour you do not expect is the specification that makes all hour-calculation futile: the very act of calculating and deciding I expect it at that hour makes that hour the wrong prediction.
