28. “Now learn the parable from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
29. So also, when you see all these things happening, know that it is near, at the door.
30. Amen, I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32. But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, except the Father.
33. “Keep on the lookout! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time is.
34. It is like a man away on a journey. After leaving his house and putting his servants in charge and giving each his task, he also commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
35. Therefore stay alert, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the early morning.
36. So watch in case, coming suddenly, he finds you asleep.
