21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, 12 and on the earth nations will be in distress, 13 anxious 14 over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves. 21:26 People will be fainting from fear 15 and from the expectation of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 16 21:27 Then 17 they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud 18 with power and great glory. 21:28 But when these things 19 begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption 20 is drawing near.”
21:29 Then 21 he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees. 22 21:30 When they sprout leaves, you see 23 for yourselves and know that summer is now near. 21:31 So also you, when you see these things happening, know 24 that the kingdom of God 25 is near. 21:32 I tell you the truth, 26 this generation 27 will not pass away until all these things take place. 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 28
21:34 “But be on your guard 29 so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap. 30 21:35 For 31 it will overtake 32 all who live on the face of the whole earth. 33 21:36 But stay alert at all times, 34 praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must 35 happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
21:37 So 36 every day Jesus 37 was teaching in the temple courts, 38 but at night he went and stayed 39 on the Mount of Olives. 40 21:38 And all the people 41 came to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts. 42
