The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

The groom did not come for a long time. So the bridesmaids all grew tired and fell asleep.

When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

When the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep.

But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Since the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

When the bridegroom was delayed a long time, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

But if that wicked servant says to himself,‘ My master is delayed,’

They will say,“ Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end— it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.For,“ Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay;

On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not.

I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep.So the captain came and said to him,“ What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we may not perish.”

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter,“ So, could you not watch with me one hour?

And he began to tell the people this parable:“ A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.

I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking.“ Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.”

And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter,“ Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

But if that servant says to himself,‘ My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,“ Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Only hold fast what you have until I come.
