The Lesson of the Fig Tree

(Mark 13:28–31, Luke 21:29–33)

Now learn this lesson[fn] from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer [is] near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near,[fn] right at [the] door. 34 Truly I tell you this generation {will} not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words {will} never pass away.
