²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:

²⁶Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.

²⁷And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.

²⁸But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

²⁹And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees:

³⁰When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

³¹So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

³²Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly.

³⁵For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.

³⁶Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man.
