Mark 13:24-31

New American Standard Bible

The Return of Christ

²⁴ “But in those days, after that tribulation, ^(A)the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, ^25 (B)and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ And then they will see ^(C)the Son of Man ^(D)coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then He will send forth the angels, and ^(E)will gather together His ^[a]elect from the four winds, ^(F)from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.

²⁸ “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹ So you too, when you see these things happening, ^[b]recognize that ^[c]He is near, right at the ^[d]door. ³⁰ Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
