28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”29He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
31Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.32“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
