29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; |
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. |
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. |
32 Verily I say unto 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. |

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. |
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. |

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