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.

As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.

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.

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.

After a long time the Lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

But if that evil servant says in his heart,‘ My master is delaying his coming,’

and saying,“ Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:“ For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.

THE SHULAMITE: By night on my bed I sought the one I love; I sought him, but I did not find him.

I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.So the captain came to him, and said to him,“ What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,“ What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

Then He began to tell the people this parable:“ A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

THE SHULAMITE: I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying,“ Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.”

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

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

But if that servant says in his heart,‘ My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

Therefore He says:“ Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

But hold fast what you have till I come.
