Bible Verses About Parables: Man taking a far journey

Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.

Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning):

Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.

And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
