Learne a similitude of ye fygge tree. When his braunches are yet tender and hath brought forthe leves ye knowe that sommer is neare.
29
So in lyke maner when ye se these thinges come to passe: vnderstond that it ys nye even at the dores.
30
Verely I saye vnto you yt this generacion shall not passe tyll all these thinges be done.
31
Heven and erth shall passe but my wordes shall not passe.
32
But of the daye and the houre knoweth no ma: no not the angels which are in heven: nether the sonne him silfe save the father only.
33
Take hede watche and praye for ye knowe not when the tyme ys.
34
As a man which is gone in to a straunge countrey and hath lefte hys housse and geven auctorite to his servautes and to every man hys worke and commaunded the porter to watche.
35
Watche therfore for ye knowe not when the master of ye housse will come whether at eve or at mydnyght whether at the cocke crowynge or in the daunynge:
36
lest yf he come sodenly he shuld fynde you slepynge.
37
And that I saye vnto you I saye vnto all men watche.
