Matthew 24:26-41

26So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

27For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

29"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

33So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.

34Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,

39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.

41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
