Exegesis
The clause ouk oidate gar pote {οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε | ouk oi-da-te gar po-te} ‘for you do not know when’ provides the rationale: the disciples’ ignorance of the exact time. The perfect verb oidate presents this not-knowing as a settled state, intensifying the need for vigilance.
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.
