Matthew 24:29-36

English Standard Version

The Coming of the Son of Man

²⁹ “Immediately after ^(A)the tribulation of those days ^(B)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and ^(C)the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰ Then ^(D)will appear in heaven ^(E)the sign of the Son of Man, and then ^(F)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and ^(G)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven ^(H)with power and great glory. ³¹ And ^(I)he will send out his angels with a loud ^(J)trumpet call, and they will ^(K)gather ^(L)his elect from ^(M)the four winds, ^(N)from one end of heaven to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

³² “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³ So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, ^(O)at the very gates. ^34 (P)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ^35 (Q)Heaven and earth will pass away, but ^(R)my words will not pass away.

No One Knows That Day and Hour

³⁶ “But concerning that day and hour ^(S)no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, ^(T)nor the Son,^{[a] (U)}but the Father only.
