    Watch! Stay alert, for you do not know when the time will come.

    βλέπετε⸀ἀγρυπνεῖτε,οὐκοἴδατεγὰρπότεὁκαιρόςἐστιν·

    BSB: Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.

    • Checkcompared with BSB · on an earlier version: The draft translates «οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν» as «you do not know when the time is», which is quite literal but potentially unclear in English. The BSB's «when the appointed time will come» better captures the sense of uncertainty about a future event. The draft's present tense «is» could misleadingly suggest the time already exists rather than emphasizing the unknowability of its coming.

    So stay alert, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at the rooster’s crow, or early in the morning—
