²⁹Then Jesus used this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree or any other tree. ³⁰As soon as leaves grow on them, you know without being told that summer is near. ³¹In the same way, when you see these things happen, you know that God’s kingdom is near.

³²“I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all this takes place. ³³The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

No One Knows When the Earth and the Heavens will Disappear

³⁴“Make sure that you don’t become drunk, hung over, and worried about life. Then that day could suddenly catch you by surprise ³⁵like a trap that catches a bird. That day will surprise all people who live on the earth. ³⁶Be alert at all times. Pray so that you have the power to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand in front of the Son of Man.”

³⁷During the day Jesus would teach in the temple courtyard. But at night he would go to the Mount of Olives (as it was called) and spend the night there. ³⁸All of the people would get up early to hear him speak in the temple courtyard.
