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.

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 after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.

But if that evil servant should say in his heart,‘ My lord is delaying his coming,’

and saying,“ Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”For this they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.“ In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

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

Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.So the ship master came to him, and said to him,“ What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won’t perish.”

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,“ What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

He began to tell the people this parable.“ A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks:“ Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,“ Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you 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 and self- controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

But if that servant says in his heart,‘ My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,

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

Therefore he says,“ Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
