Matthew 24:30-39

English Standard Version

³⁰Then ^(A)will appear in heaven ^(B)the sign of the Son of Man, and then ^(C)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and ^(D)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven ^(E)with power and great glory. ³¹And ^(F)he will send out his angels with a loud ^(G)trumpet call, and they will ^(H)gather ^(I)his elect from ^(J)the four winds, ^(K)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. ³³So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, ^(L)at the very gates. ³⁴^(M)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ³⁵^(N)Heaven and earth will pass away, but ^(O)my words will not pass away.

No One Knows That Day and Hour

³⁶“But concerning that day and hour ^(P)no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, ^(Q)nor the Son,^[a] ^(R)but the Father only. ³⁷^(S)For as were the days of Noah, ^(T)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸^(U)For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, ^(V)marrying and giving in marriage, until ^(W)the day when Noah entered the ark, ³⁹and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, ^(X)so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
