24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

25And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27And then he will send out the angels and gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.

28Learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts out leaves, you know that summer is near.

29So also you, when you see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.

30Truly I say to you that this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things happen.

31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.
