Matthew 24:32-51 Parable of the fig tree
Now from the fig tree learn her parable. When her branch has become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.Mat 24:33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near- at the doors.Mat 24:34 Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away until all these things are accomplished.Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Jesus Warns that the Time of the End is Only Known to God
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the Angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.Mat 24:37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.Mat 24:38 For as in those days which were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,Mat 24:39 and they did not realize until the flood came and took them all away. So shall the coming of the Son of Man be.Mat 24:40 Then two men shall be in the field. One shall be taken and one left.Mat 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill. One shall be taken and one left.Mat 24:42 Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on what day your Lord comes.Mat 24:43 But know this! That if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.Mat 24:44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.Mat 24:45 Jesus Describes the Wise Servant Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household to give them their food in due time?
Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.Mat 24:47 Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all that he has.Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord’s coming is delayed,Mat 24:49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants and shall eat and drink with the drunkards,Mat 24:50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not expect him and in an hour when he does not know,Mat 24:51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
