Parable of the Fig Tree: Be Watchful
Mark 13:28-37
28
Nowe learne a parable of the figge tree. When her bough is yet tender, and it bringeth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere.
29
So in like maner, when ye see these things come to passe, knowe that the kingdom of God is neere, euen at the doores.
30
Verely I say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
31
Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my woordes shall not passe away.
32
But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no, not the Angels which are in heauen, neither the Sonne himselfe, but the Father.
33
Take heede: watch, and praie: for yee knowe not when the time is.
34
For the Sonne of man is as a man going into a strange countrey, and leaueth his house, and giueth authoritie to his seruaunts, and to euery man his woorke, and commandeth the porter to watch.
35
Watch ye therefore, (for ye know not whe ye master of the house will come, at eue, or at midnight, at the cocke crowing, or in the dawning,)
36
Least if he come suddenly, he should finde you sleeping.
37
And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.
