Parable of the Fig Tree

32 "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;
33 so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right 5at the door.
34 "Truly I say to you, 6this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
35 "7Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36 "But 8of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 "For the 9coming of the Son of Man will be 10just like the days of Noah.
38 "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, 11marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that 12Noah entered the ark,
39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the 13coming of the Son of Man be.
40 "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41 "14Two women will be grinding at the 15mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
