Résumé

Eschatological Jesus’s speech in editing of all three synoptic gospels ends with the appeal for watchfulness (see: Mt 24,42-51; 25,13-15; Mk 13,33-37; Lk 21,34-36). That appeal in Gospel of Mark is both conclusion of eschatological speech and its meaningful culmination with determination of particular tasks for disciples, who not knowing the time of impletion of prediction of end of time, receive the task of special watchfulness. Short but eloquent parable about host who while leaving his house scheduled duties to everyone, contains vital task of wakeful doorman waiting for his Lord’s back. Evangelist conveys both warning about oppose attitude, which is latency that concerns people especially at night. The context of the whole gospel points that disciples go to the truth of Lord’s words at the night of His release (Mk 14,14-72) just when they were out of watchfulness. All the more reason genuine and urgent stays the appeal for everybody “watch” (Mk13,37)
