²³“At that time don’t believe anyone who tells you, ‘Here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’ ²⁴False messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen. ²⁵Listen! I’ve told you this before it happens. ²⁶So if someone tells you, ‘He’s in the desert!’ don’t go out ⸤looking for him⸥. And don’t believe anyone who says, ‘He’s in a secret place!’ ²⁷The Son of Man will come again just as lightning flashes from east to west. ²⁸Vultures will gather wherever there is a dead body.

²⁹“Immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not give light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the universe will be shaken.

³⁰“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory. ³¹He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and from every direction under the sky, they will gather those whom God has chosen.

³²“Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³In the same way, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the door.

³⁴“I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all these things take place.
