Mark 13:24-31 (Gospel)
- 24
 - But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
 - 25
 - the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
 - 26
 - Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
 - 27
 - And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
 - 28
 - Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
 - 29
 - So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near – at the doors!
 - 30
 - Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
 - 31
 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
