The Parable of the Fig Tree
13:28 “Learn this parable from the fig tree : Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves , you know that summer is near .
13:29 So also you , when you see these things happening , know that he is near, right at the door .
13:30 I tell you the truth , this generation will not pass away until all these things take place .
13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away , but my words will never pass away .
