21:29 Then 7 he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees. 8 21:30 When they sprout leaves, you see 9 for yourselves and know that summer is now near. 21:31 So also you, when you see these things happening, know 10 that the kingdom of God 11 is near. 21:32 I tell you the truth, 12 this generation 13 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. 14
21:34 “But be on your guard 15 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. 16 21:35 For 17 it will overtake 18 all who live on the face of the whole earth. 19 21:36 But stay alert at all times, 20 praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must 21 happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
