013:022 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray-- if indeed that were possible--even God's own People. 013:023 But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything. 013:024 "At that time, however, after that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light; 013:025 the stars will be seen falling from the firmament, and the forces which are in the heavens will be disordered and disturbed. 013:026 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 013:027 Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky. 013:028 "Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near. 013:029 So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door. 013:030 I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place. 013:031 Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away. 013:032 "But as to that day or the exact time no one knows--not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 013:033 Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen. 013:034 It is like a man living abroad who has left his house, and given the management to his servants--to each one his special duty-- and has ordered the porter to keep awake. 013:035 Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn. 013:036 Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep. 013:037 Moreover, what I say to you I say to all--Be wakeful!" 014:001 It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death. 014:002 But they said, "Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people." 014:003 Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head. 014:004 But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, "Why has the ointment been thus wasted? 014:005 For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor." And they were exceedingly angry with her.
