The Lesson of the Fig Tree

28“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, eat the very gates. 30fTruly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31gHeaven and earth will pass away, but hmy words will not pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

KJV 1900King James Version

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
