Matthew 24:32-36

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 ¹at the door.

34 "Truly I say to you, ²this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

35 "³Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

36 "But ⁴of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
