Mark 13:28–37
28“Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;↗
29even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.↗
30Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.↗
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.↗
32“But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.↗
33Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.↗
34“It is like a man traveling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.↗
35Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;↗
36lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.↗
37What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”↗
