Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:42 Go To Matthew 24
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After this again, that they may not ask about it, He added, Watch therefore, for you know not what hour your Lord does come. Matthew 24:42 He said not, I know not, but, ye know not. For when He had brought them well near to the very hour, and had placed them there, again He deters them from the inquiry, from a desire that they should be striving always. Therefore He says, Watch, showing that for the sake of this, He did not tell it.
