Matius 24:44

24:44 Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. ¹ 

Matius 24:50

24:50 then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee,

Matius 25:6-13

25:6 But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.’ ²  25:7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 25:8 The ³  foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ 25:9 ‘No,’ they replied. ⁴  ‘There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 25:10 But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then ⁵  the door was shut. 25:11 Later, ⁶  the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’ ⁷  25:12 But he replied, ⁸  ‘I tell you the truth, ⁹  I do not know you!’ 25:13 Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour. ¹⁰ 

[24:44]  ¹ sn Jesus made clear that his coming could not be timed, and suggested it would take some time – so long, in fact, that some will not be looking for him any longer (at an hour when you do not expect him).

[25:6]  ² tc ‡ Most witnesses have αὐτοῦ (autou, “[with] him”) after ἀπάντησιν (apanthsin, “meeting”), a reading which makes explicit what is already implied in the shorter text (as found in א B 700). The translation likewise adds “him” for clarity’s sake even though the word is not considered part of the original text. NA²⁷ has αὐτοῦ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[25:8]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “The wise answered, saying, ‘No.’”

[25:10]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[25:11]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “Open to us.”

[25:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “But answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[25:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[25:13]  ¹⁰ tc Most later mss (C³ ˹³ 1424^c Ï) also read here “in which the Son of Man is coming” (ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται, en |h Jo Juio" tou anqrwpou ercetai), reproducing almost verbatim the last line of Matt 24:44. The longer reading thus appears to be an explanatory expansion and should not be considered authentic. The earlier and better witnesses ({̳⁵ א A B C* D L W Δ Θ Ë¹ 33 565 892 1424* lat co}) lack this phrase.
