The Parable Of The Fig Tree
32 Learn from the illustration of the fig tree. When the branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;
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 Therefore, when you see all these things, you will know he is near, even at the door.
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.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation (those living at that time) will not pass away till all these things take place.

34 I tell all of you with certainty, this generation won't disappear until these things happen.
The Unknown Day And Hour
36 No one knows the day and the hour (the period of time). The angels of heaven do not know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows!
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,
37 The presence of the Son of man will be similar to the days of Noah.
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.
38 It will be like those days before the Flood. They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.
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.
39 They were not aware until the Flood came and took them all away. The coming (presence) of the Son of man will be like this.
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.
40 Two will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left.

40 At that time, two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left behind.
41 Two will grind at the mill. One will be taken, and one will be left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

43 Know this, if the master of the house had known what time the thief was coming, he would have watched and his house would not have been vandalized.
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 Be prepared! The Son of man will come at a time when you do not expect it.
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."
