Luke 21:25

Luke 21:25

23 ^aBut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.

24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles ^auntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 ^a“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, ^afor the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man ^acoming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because ^ayour redemption draws near.”

The Parable of the Fig Tree

29 ^aThen He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
