26. And then they shall see the Son of man arriving on the clouds, with great power and glory.
27. And then he will send his Angels, and gather together his elect, from the four winds, from the limits of the earth, to the limits of heaven.
28. Now from the fig tree discern a parable. When its branch becomes tender and the foliage has been formed, you know that summer is very near.
29. So also, when you will have seen these things happen, know that it is very near, even at the doors.
30. Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have happened.
31. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
32. But concerning that day or hour, no one knows, neither the Angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33. Take heed, be vigilant, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
34. It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch.
35. Therefore, be vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.
36. Otherwise, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping.
37. But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant."
