Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Darum seid ihr auch bereit; denn des Menschen Sohn wird kommen zu einer Stunde, da ihr's nicht meinet.
Por tanto, también vosotros estad apercibidos; porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir a la hora que no pensáis.
Por eso, también ustedes estén preparados, porque el Hijo del Hombre vendrá a una hora que no esperan.
C'est pourquoi, vous aussi, tenez-vous prêts, car le Fils de l'homme viendra à l'heure où vous n'y penserez pas.
Perciò, voi ancora siate presti; perciocchè, nell’ora che non pensate, il Figliuol dell’uomo verrà.
Por isso, estai vós apercebidos também; porque o Filho do homem há de vir à hora em que não penseis.
所以,你們也要預備,因為在你們想不到的時候,人子就來了。」
