Luke 21:25-38 ▼

25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring;

26 men's hearts failing on account of the fearful expectation of the things that are coming on the land; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 When these things begin to take place, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.

29 And he spoke a parable to them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;

30 when they now put forth leaves, you see, and know of yourselves that summer is near.

31 So likewise, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

32 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it.

35 For as a snare, it shall come on all that dwell on the face of all the land.

36 Watch, therefore, and pray at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

37 And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple. But he went out and passed the nights in the mount called the mount of Olives.

38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, in order to hear him.
