22. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not.
24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
25. Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26. If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe
27. For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28. Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29. But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30. and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32. Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;
33. even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.
34. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished.
35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36. But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
