Matthew 24:41-43
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
41 two women grinding at the mill— one is taken[a], and one is left. 42 Therefore keep-watching, because you do not know on which day your Lord is coming. 43 And you know[b] that saying, that if the house-master had known on which watch[c] the thief was coming, he would have kept-watch[d] and would not have allowed his house to be broken-into.

- Matthew 24:41 Or, taken along... left behind. Some think believers are taken, referring either to protection on earth (as with Noah) or in heaven (through the rapture); unbelievers are left for judgment. Others think unbelievers are taken in judgment, believers are left on earth (like Noah).
- Matthew 24:43 Or, know that ( a command to understand).
- Matthew 24:43 That is, watch of the night. The night was divided into four watches.
- Matthew 24:43 That is, he would have been prepared for the thief when he came. Since he does not know when the thief is coming, he must be prepared at all times.
