(see also Calendar, Sabbath, Sabbaths, Morning, New Year, New Moon, Inclusive Time)

Psalm 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Mark 13:32-37
AA 32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
A-BA no, not the angels which are in heaven,
A-BB neither the Son,
A-BC but the Father.
AA 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray:
-B for ye know not when the time is.
–C 34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey,
—D who left his house,
—-E and gave authority to his servants,
—D and to every man his work,
–C and commanded the porter [doorkeeper] to [night] watch.
-B 35 Watch ye therefore:
AA for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,
A-B at EVEN, or at MIDNIGHT, or at the COCKCROWING, or in the MORNING:
A-B 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
AA 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
