28. For wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
29. But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon 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 land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the one extremity of the heavens to the other extremity of them.
32. But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

38. For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,
39. and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
40. Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;
41. two women grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
42. Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.
43. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through into.
