(25)And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and waves; (26)men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking for those things that are coming on the world; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (27)And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. (28)And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption is drawing nigh. (29)And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees. (30)When they already shoot forth, seeing it ye know of yourselves that the summer is already near. (31)So also ye, when ye see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near. (32)Verily I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all shall have come to pass. (33)Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away. (34)And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you unawares. (35)For as a snare shall it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (36)And watch, in every time praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (37)And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called Olivet. (38)And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. XXII. NOW the feast of unleavened bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover; (2)and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him; for they feared the people. (3)And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. (4)And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them. (5)And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. (6)And he promised, and sought opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude. (7)And the day of unleavened bread came, when the passover must be killed. (8)And he sent away Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare us the passover, that we may eat it. (9)And they said to him: Where wilt thou that we prepare? (10)And he said to them: Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he enters in. (11)And ye shall say to the master of the house: The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? (12)And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready. (13)And they went away, and found as he had said to them. And they made ready the passover.
