Exegesis
A temporal clause introduced by hoti hē {ὅτι ᾗ | ho-ti hē} ‘for in which’ contains the negated verb ou dokeite {οὐ δοκεῖτε | ou do-kei-te} ‘you do not expect’ and the dative of time hora {ὥρᾳ | hō-ra} ‘hour’, emphasizing the element of surprise.
In context — Matthew 24:44
Because of this, you also must be ready, for at an hour when you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming .
