24And thei schulen falle bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and thei schulen be led prisoneris in to alle folkis; and Jerusalem schal be defoulid of hethene men, til the tymes of naciouns be fulfillid.
25And tokenes schulen be in the sunne, and the mone, and in the sterris; and in the erthe ouerleiyng of folkis, for confusioun of sown of the see and of floodis;
26for men schulen wexe drye for drede and abidyng that schulen come to al the world; for vertues of heuenes schulen be mouyd.
27And thanne thei schulen se mannys sone comynge in a cloude, with greet power and maieste.
28And whanne these thingis bigynnen to be maad, biholde ye, and reise ye youre heedis, for youre redempcioun neiyeth.
29And he seide to hem a liknesse, Se ye the fige tre, and alle trees,
30whanne thei bryngen forth now of hem silf fruyt, ye witen that somer is nyy;
31so ye, whanne ye seen these thingis to be don, wite ye, that the kyngdom of God is nyy.
32Treuli Y seie to you, that this generacioun schal not passe, til alle thingis be don.
33Heuene and erthe schulen passe, but my wordis schulen not passe.
