30
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32

34

35
Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
36
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
