28"Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
29even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30Most assuredly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but only the Father.
33Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don`t know when the time is.
34"It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
