Matthew 24:29-25:13

Matthew 24

29"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

33So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.

34Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

37As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,

39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.

41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.

42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?

46Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

48But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,'

49and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards,

50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know

51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25

1"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.

5As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.

6But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'

7Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

8And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

9But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.'

10And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

11Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.'

12But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

13Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
