27 For as lightning(A) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(B) of the Son of Man.(C) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(D)

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[a](E)

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[b] will mourn(F) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(G) with power and great glory.[c] 31 And he will send his angels(H) with a loud trumpet call,(I) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
