Exegesis
The nominal phrase ho kyrios tes oikias {ὁ κύριος τῆς οἰκίας | ho ky-ri-os tēs oi-ki-as} ‘the master of the house’ functions as the subject of erchetai {ἔρχεται | er-khe-tai} ‘is coming’, forming a brief metaphorical picture of a householder whose return is certain but whose timing is not.
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.
