Matthew 24:42-47 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

42. “So always be ready. You don’t know the day your Lord will come.

43. Remember this: If the owner of the house knew what time a thief was coming, then the owner would be ready for him. The owner would watch and not let the thief enter his house.

44. So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time you don’t expect him.

45. “Who is the wise and trusted servant? The master trusts one servant to give the other servants their food at the right time.

46. When the master comes and finds the servant doing his work, the servant will be very happy.

47. I tell you the truth. The master will choose that servant to take care of everything the master owns.
