29. Then Jesus told them a story:When you see a fig tree or any other tree
30. putting out leaves, you know that summer will soon come.
31. So, when you see these things happening, you know that God's kingdom will soon be here.
32. You can be sure that some of the people of this generation will still be alive when all this takes place.
33. The sky and the earth won't last for ever, but my words will.
34. Don't spend all your time thinking about eating or drinking or worrying about life. If you do, the final day will suddenly catch you
35. like a trap. That day will surprise everyone on earth.
36. Watch out and keep praying that you can escape all that is going to happen and that the Son of Man will be pleased with you.
37. Jesus taught in the temple each day, and he spent each night on the Mount of Olives.
38. Everyone got up early and came to the temple to hear him teach.
