Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:3 - As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?"

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:16 - then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:17 - let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:18 - and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:19 - And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:31 - and 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.

Parable of the Fig Tree

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:38 - For 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:39 - and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:40 - Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:41 - Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:45 - "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?

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:48 - But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:49 - and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:50 - the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:51 - and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
