mark 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. - Free Bible Online

mark 13:34 []"[It is] like a man, away on a journey, [who] upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, [assigning] to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.


      34. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, &c.--The idea thus far is similar to that in the opening part of the parable of the talents (Mt 25:14, 15).
      and commanded the porter--the gatekeeper.
      to watch--pointing to the official duty of the ministers of religion to give warning of approaching danger to the people.
