Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(35) The master of the house.--Better, the Lord of the house. The Greek word is not the same as that commonly rendered the "goodman" or "master" of the house.At even, or at midnight.--The four times correspond roughly to the four watches of the night, beginning at 9 P.M., 12, 3 A.M., 6 A.M. The words may be noted as having left, and having been intended to leave, on St. Peter's mind, the impression that the promise of the coming of his Lord was undefined as to times or seasons, which is so prominent in 2 Peter 3. Each of the seasons named has had its counterpart, we may well believe, embracing many centuries of the world's history.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekThereforeοὖν (oun)ConjunctionStrong's 3767: Therefore, then.
