你们可以从无花果树学个比方。当树枝发嫩长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天近了。
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
天地要废去。我的话却不能废去。
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
这事正如一个人离开本家，寄居外邦，把权柄交给仆人，分派各人当作的工，又吩咐看门的儆醒。
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
所以你们要儆醒，因为你们不知道家主什么时候来，或晚上，或半夜，或鸡叫，或早晨。
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
我对你们所说的话，也是对众人说，要儆醒。
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
我告诉你们，不是的。你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡。
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
我告诉你们，不是的。你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡。
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
于是用比喻说，一个人有一棵无花果树，栽在葡萄园里。他来到树前梢果子，却找不着。
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
管园的说，主阿，今年且留着，等我周围掘开土，加上粪。
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
有一个女人，被鬼附着病了十八年。腰弯得一点直不起来。
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
