28
Learn the similitude from the fig tree: When her branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near;
29
so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is near,
even at the doors.
30
Verily I say unto you that this generation shall not pass until all these things are done.
31
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
32
But of that day and
that hour no one knows, no, not even the angels who are in the heaven, neither the Son, but only the Father.
33
Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time shall be.
34
As the man who, taking a far journey, left his house and gave his estate to his slaves and to each one his responsibility and commanded the porter to watch.
35
Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the Lord of the house comes: at evening or at midnight or at the cockcrowing or in the morning,
36
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37
And what I say unto you, I say unto all: Watch.
