Luke 21:25-37
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. 32 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place. 33 (F)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
34 “But (G)be on your guard, so that your hearts will not be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that [e]this day will not come on you suddenly, like a trap; 35 for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth. 36 But (H)stay alert at all times, praying that you will have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to (I)stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Now [f]during the day He was (J)teaching in the temple, but [g](K)at evening He would go out and spend the night on (L)the [h]mountain that is called [i]Olivet.

New King James Version
The Coming of the Son of Man(A)
25 (B)“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, (C)for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man (D)coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because (E)your redemption draws near.”
The Parable of the Fig Tree(F)
29 (G)Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 (H)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My (I)words will by no means pass away.
The Importance of Watching(J)
34 “But (K)take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [a]carousing, drunkenness, and (L)cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For (M)it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 (N)Watch therefore, and (O)pray always that you may [b]be counted (P)worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and (Q)to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 (R)And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but (S)at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet.
