Luke 21:25-32 ALT
(25) "And [there] will be signs in [the] sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity [at the] roaring of [the] sea and waves; [cp. Isaiah 34:4; Joel 2:10; 2:31] (26) people fainting [or, ceasing to breathe] from fear and [the] expectation of the [things] coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. (27) "And then they will see the Son of Humanity coming in a cloud with power and great glory! [Dan 7:13] (28) "But when these [things] are beginning to happen, straighten up and lift up your* heads, because your* redemption is drawing near." (29) And He spoke an allegory to them: "See the fig tree and all the trees; (30) when they [have] already sprouted [leaves], having seen, you* know for yourselves that the summer is already near. (31) "In this way also when _you*_ see these [things] happening, be knowing that the kingdom of God is near! (32) "Positively, I say to you*, this generation [or, race] shall by no means pass away until all [things] happen.

Luke 21:25-32 Darby
(25) And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and rolling waves, (26) men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. (27) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (28) But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh. (29) And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees; (30) when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, on looking at them , that already the summer is near. (31) So also *ye*, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near. (32) Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.

Luke 21:25-32 BBE
(25) And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves; (26) Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved. (27) And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. (28) But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near. (29) And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees; (30) When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming. (31) In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near. (32) Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all things are complete.
