Luke 21:29–38

The Parable of the Fig Tree

²⁹Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees;

³⁰as soon as they put forth leaves and you see it for yourselves, ^aknow that summer is now near.

³¹“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that ^athe kingdom of God is near.

³²“Truly I say to you, this ¹generation will not pass away until all things take place.

³³“^aHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

³⁴“^aBut be on guard, so that your hearts will not be overcome with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

³⁵for it will come upon all those who inhabit the face of all the earth.

³⁶“But ^akeep on the alert at all times, praying earnestly that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to ^bstand before the Son of Man.”

³⁷Now ¹during the day He was ^ateaching in the temple, but ^2bduring the night He would go out and spend it on ^3cthe mount called “of ⁴Olives.”

³⁸And all the people would get up ^aearly in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.
