Mark 13:28-31

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

28 Now learn this lesson ^[a] from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. ¹

29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, ^[b] right at the door.

30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
