Matteusevangeliet 24:37-51
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
37 (A) Så som det var under Noas dagar, så ska det vara när Människosonen kommer. 38 Under dagarna före floden åt de och drack, de gifte sig och blev bortgifta ända till den dag då Noa gick in i arken, 39 och de visste ingenting förrän floden kom och ryckte bort dem alla. Så ska det bli när Människosonen kommer. 40 Då ska två män vara ute på åkern. Den ene ska tas med, den andre lämnas kvar. 41 Två kvinnor ska mala vid kvarnen[a]. Den ena ska tas med, den andra lämnas kvar.
42 (B) Var därför vakna, för ni vet inte vilken dag er Herre kommer. 43 (C) Men det förstår ni att om husägaren visste när på natten[b] tjuven kom, då hade han hållit sig vaken och inte låtit någon bryta sig in i hans hus. 44 Var därför beredda också ni, för i en stund när ni inte väntar det kommer Människosonen.
45 (D) Vem är den trogne och kloke tjänaren vars herre har satt honom över sina andra tjänare för att ge dem mat i rätt tid? 46 Salig är den tjänaren när hans herre kommer och finner att han gör så. 47 (E) Jag säger er sanningen: Han ska sätta honom över allt han äger. 48 (F) Men om den tjänaren är ond och säger i sitt hjärta: Min herre dröjer, 49 och han börjar slå sina medtjänare och äter och dricker med dem som är berusade, 50 då ska den tjänarens herre komma en dag när han inte väntar det och i en stund när han inte anar det, 51 (G) och han ska hugga honom i stycken och ge honom hans plats bland hycklarna. Där ska man gråta och gnissla tänder.

King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 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.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24:37-51
New King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 (A)For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 (B)Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 (C)Watch therefore, for you do not know what [a]hour your Lord is coming. 43 (D)But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [b]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 (E)Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant(F)
45 (G)“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food [c]in due season? 46 (H)Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that (I)he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master (J)is delaying [d]his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is (K)not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. (L)There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24:37-51
English Standard Version
37 (A)For as were the days of Noah, (B)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 (C)For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (D)marrying and giving in marriage, until (E)the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, (F)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 (G)Two women will be grinding (H)at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, (I)stay awake, for you do not know on what day (J)your Lord is coming. 43 (K)But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night (L)the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be (M)ready, for (N)the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
45 “Who then is (O)the faithful and (P)wise servant,[a] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 (Q)Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, (R)he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master (S)is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[b] and eats and drinks with (T)drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come (U)on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place (V)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
