23. But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.
24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the nations until the times of the nations be fulfilled.
25. And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and rolling waves,
26. men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.
29. And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;
30. when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, on looking at them, that already the summer is near.
31. So also ye, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.
