Exegesis
The verse begins with the present imperative gregoreite {γρηγορεῖτε | grē-go-rei-te} ‘be alert’, which calls for continuous, ongoing watchfulness rather than a momentary action.
In context — Mark 13:35
Therefore, be alert; for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening , or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
