| 29 "Immediately after the
tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon
will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens will be shaken; 30 then will
appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the
tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man
coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory;
31 and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet
call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from
one end of heaven to the other. |
24 "But in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give
its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from
heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in
clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will
send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. |
25 "There will be signs in the sun, the moon,
and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed
by the roaring of the sea and the waves.26
People will die of fright in
anticipation of what is coming upon the world , for
the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then
they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.28 But when these
signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because
your redemption is at hand. " |
| 32 "From the fig tree learn its
lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its
leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when
you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very
gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will
not pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. |
28 "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as
soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you
know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see
these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very
gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will
not pass away before all these things take place. 31
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass
away. |
29 And he told them a parable: "Look at the
fig tree, and all the trees; 30 as soon as they come
out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is
already near. 31 So also, when you see these things
taking place, you know that the kingdom
of God is near. 32 Truly, I say to you,
this generation will not pass away till all has taken place. 33
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass
away. |
| 36 "But of that day and hour no
one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the
Father only. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be
the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in those days
before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
39 and they did not know until the flood came and
swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and
one is left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the
mill; one is taken and one is left. 42 Watch
therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
43 But know this, that if the householder had known in
what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have
watched and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of
man is coming at an hour you do not expect. |
32 "But of that day or that hour no one
knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not
know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man
going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in
charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on
the watch. 35 Watch therefore -- for you do not know
when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at
midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning -- 36 lest
he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I
say to you I say to all: Watch. |
34 "But take heed to
yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and
drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you
suddenly like a snare;
35 for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face
of the whole earth. 36 But
watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape
all these things that will take place, and to stand before the
Son of man." |
