23 And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed. 25 And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. 26 Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory. 28 And these things beginning to be, get out of danger, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. 29 And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; 30 When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near. 31 So also ye, when ye see these being, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away. 34 And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. 35 For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth. 36 Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man. 37 And the days he was teaching in the temple; and the nights, coming out, he lodged in the mount called of Olives. 38 And all the people arose early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
