32 “Now learn this parable(AB) from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
32 "Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
33 so, you too, when you see all these things, (u)recognize that (v)He is near, right (AR)at the (w)door.
33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you'll know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door.

The Unknown Day And Hour
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
36 “But (AU)of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
36 “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son(q) —except the Father only.(AG)
36 "No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,
36 “But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son [in His humanity], but the Father alone.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
37 because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
37 For the coming of the Son of Man (the Messiah) will be just like the days of Noah.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (AX)marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that (AY)Noah entered the ark,
38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark.(AH)
38 In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah entered the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
39 and they did not (z)understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the (AZ)coming of the Son of Man be.
39 They didn’t know(r) until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be:
39 They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
43 But (af)be sure of this, that (BD)if the head of the house had known (BE)at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be (ag)broken into.
43 But know this: If the homeowner had known what time(t) the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.(AK)
43 But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when during the night the thief would be coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
44 For this reason (BF)you also must be ready; for (BG)the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
44 This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.(AL)
44 So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting."
44 Therefore, you [who follow Me] must also be ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.

48 But if that servant is evil and says in his heart, ‘My master is taking his time [he will not return for a long while],’

51 He will cut him to pieces(u) and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
