³ And as He was sitting on ^(A)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of ^(B)Your coming, and of the ^[a]end of the age?”

^27 (A)For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the ^(B)coming of the ^(C)Son of Man ^[a]be.

³⁷ For ^[a]the ^(A)coming of the Son of Man will be ^(B)just like the days of Noah.

³⁹ and they did not ^[a]understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the ^(A)coming of the Son of Man be.

²³ But each in his own order: Christ ^(A)the first fruits, after that ^(B)those who are Christ’s at ^(C)His coming,

¹⁹ For who is our hope, or ^(A)joy or crown of pride, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His ^[a](B)coming? Or is it not indeed you?

¹³ so that He may ^(A)establish your hearts ^(B)blameless in holiness before ^(C)our God and Father at the ^[a](D)coming of our Lord Jesus ^(E)with all His ^[b]saints.

¹⁵ For we say this to you ^(A)by the word of the Lord, that ^(B)we who are alive ^[a]and remain until ^(C)the coming of the Lord will not precede ^(D)those who have fallen asleep.

²³ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(C)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, ^(D)without blame at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
