Clarke's Mark 13:35 Bible Commentary
Watch ye therefore - The more the master is expected, the more diligent ought the servants to be in working, watching, and keeping themselves in readiness. Can one who has received the sentence of his death, and has no right to live a moment, need any admonition to prepare to die? Does not a prisoner who expects his deliverance, hold himself in continual readiness to leave his dungeon?
Barnes's Mark 13:35 Bible Commentary
Watch ye - Be diligent, faithful, and waiting for the return of your Lord, who will come at an unexpected hour.
Master of the house - Denoting here the Lord Jesus.
At even, or at midnight, or ... - This refers to the four divisions into which the Jews divided the night.
