Mark 13:23-30

New American Standard Bible 1995

²³ But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.

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 ^[a]the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ 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 ^[b]elect from the four winds, ^(F)from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

²⁸ “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹ Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, ^[c]recognize that ^[d]He is near, right at the ^[e]door. ³⁰ Truly I say to you, this ^[f]generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
