These are the beginnings of travails. But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them.

And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and the children will rise up against the parents, and put them to death.

28 But of the fige tree lerne ye the parable. Whanne now his braunche is tendre, and leeues ben sprongun out, ye knowen that somer is nyy.
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branches may be now tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh.
29 So whanne ye seen these thingis be don, wite ye, that it is nyy in the doris.

As a man, going away, leaving his own house, and giving authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and commanded the porter that he should watch.
35 Therfor wake ye, for ye witen not, whanne the lord of the hous cometh, in the euentide, or at mydnyyt, or at cockis crowyng, or in the mornyng;
Watch therefore: for you know not when the Lord of the house cometh, late, or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning;
36 leste whanne he cometh sodenli, he fynde you slepynge.
lest having come suddenly he may find you sleeping.
37 Forsothe that that Y seie to you, Y seie to alle, Wake ye.
And the things I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
