Mark 13:24-37 ▼

24 but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light;

25 and the stars of the heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with vast power and glory.

27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound of heaven.

28 Now learn from the fig-tree, a parable; When her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;

29 so also you, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall never pass away.

32 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, nor the angels which are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch, and pray; for ye know not when the time is.

34 As a man going abroad, when he left his abode, and gave his servants authority, and to each his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore; for ye know not at what time the master of the house cometh, at evening, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or in the morning:

36 lest coming suddenly he find you asleep.

37 Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
