Matthew 24:32-44

32“Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

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

34I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

36“But as for that day and hour no one knows it – not even the angels in heaven – except the Father alone.

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

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

39And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.

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

41There will be two women grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and one left.

42“Therefore stay alert, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have been alert and would not have let his house be broken into.

44Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
