‹Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:›
‹So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh,› [even] ‹at the doors.›
‹Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.›
‹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.›
‹But of that day and› [that] ‹hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.›
‹Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.›
[For the Son of man is] ‹as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.›
‹Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:›
‹Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.›
‹And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.›
