Bible Verses About Parables: Man taking a far journey

"It's like a man who travels away from home, puts his servants in charge, each with his own task, and tells the doorkeeper to stay alert.

So stay alert! for you don't know when the owner of the house will come,

whether it will be evening, midnight, cockcrow or morning -- you don't want him to come suddenly and find you sleeping!

And what I say to you, I say to everyone: stay alert!"
