Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.

And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think it, the Son of man comes.

and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'

Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.

So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize."

You must also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come."

Be ye therefore ready also - It is pretty evident that what is related here, from Luke 12:35 to Luke 12:49, was spoken by our Lord at another time. See Matthew 24:42 (note), etc., and the notes there.

(12) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
(12) None need to watch more than they that have some degree of honour in the household of God.

Be ye therefore ready also,.... Not habitually, but actually, in the exercise of grace, and the discharge of duty, with loins girt, and lights burning. This may be understood either of a readiness to meet the Lord in the way of his judgments, and particularly the destruction of Jerusalem, which was to be in a few years; or of a preparation for death, and the last judgment, which lies in the righteousness of Christ imputed, and his grace imparted: and to have a comfortable view of the one, and a gracious experience of the other, as they will engage to the performance of good works, to which such are ready; so they make meet for the coming of Christ, be it in what way, and whensoever it will: and the rather, a concern should be had for such a preparation, because of the following reason,
for the son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not; in either of the above ways; See Gill on Matthew 24:44.
