Mark 13:24–37

²⁴‘But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, ²⁵and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁶‘And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory, ²⁷and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

²⁸‘And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer; ²⁹so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors. ³⁰Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass; ³¹the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³²‘And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known—not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son—except the Father. ³³Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is; ³⁴as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch; ³⁵watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning; ³⁶lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping; ³⁷and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.’
