²⁵“There will be miraculous signs in the sun, moon and stars. The nations of the earth will be in terrible pain. They will be puzzled by the roaring and tossing of the sea. ²⁶Terror will make people faint. They will be worried about what is happening in the world. The sun, moon and stars will be shaken from their places.

²⁷“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud. He will come with power and great glory. ²⁸When these things begin to take place, stand up. Hold your head up with joy and hope. The time when you will be set free will be very close.”

²⁹Jesus told them a story. “Look at the fig tree and all the trees,” he said. ³⁰“When you see leaves appear on the branches, you know that summer is near. ³¹In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will know that God’s kingdom is near.

³²“What I’m about to tell you is true. The people living at that time will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. ³³Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.
