Luke 21:25-31

New American Standard Bible

The Return of Christ

²⁵ “There will be ^[a]signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, ²⁶ people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the ^[b]world; for the powers of ^[c]the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷ And ^(A)then they will see ^(B)the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸ But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because ^(C)your redemption is drawing near.”

²⁹ And He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees: ³⁰ as soon as they put forth leaves, you see for yourselves and ^(D)know that summer is now near. ³¹ So you too, when you see these things happening, ^[d]recognize that ^(E)the kingdom of God is near.
