Old/New Testament

²⁹ Immediately after the tribulations of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall move. ³⁰ And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹ And he will send his angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other.

³² Learn from a similitude of the fig tree: when its branches are yet tender and its leaves sprung, you know that summer is near. ³³ So likewise you, when you see all these things, may be sure that it is near, even at the doors. ³⁴ Truly I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall perish, but my words will abide. ³⁶ But of that day and hour no man knows – no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. ³⁷ As the time of Noah was, so likewise will the coming of the Son of man be. ³⁸ For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and were married, right up to the day that Noah entered into the ship, ³⁹ and knew of nothing till the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of man be. ⁴⁰ Then two will be in the fields; the one will be received, and the other will be refused. ⁴¹ Two will be grinding at the mill; the one will be received, and the other will be refused.

⁴² Watch therefore, because you do not know what hour your master will come. ⁴³ Of this be sure: if the householder knew what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and not allow his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ Therefore you also be ready, because in the hour you think he would not, the Son of man will come.

⁴⁵ If there be any servant faithful and wise, whom his master has appointed over his household, to give them food in due season, ⁴⁶ happy is that servant whom his master (when he comes) finds so doing. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his goods. ⁴⁸ But if the evil servant says in his heart, My master will defer his coming, ⁴⁹ and begins to smite his fellow servants, yea and to eat and to drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the servant’s master will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, ⁵¹ and will separate him, and give him his reward with the hypocrites. And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
