   "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the   
   west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the   
   carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after   
   the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall   
   not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of   
   the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of   
   man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they   
   shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great   
   glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and   
   they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of   
   heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is   
   yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So   
   likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even   
   at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till   
   all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my   
   words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not   
   the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so   
   shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were   
   before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in   
   marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until   
   the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son   
   of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the   
   other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,   
   and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord   
   doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what   
   watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have   
   suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such   
   an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and   
   wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them   
   meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh   
   shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler   
   over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My   
   lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and   
   to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a   
   day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And   
   shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:   
   there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the kingdom of   
   heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth   
   to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.   
   They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the   
   wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom   
   tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made,   
   Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins   
   arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us   
   of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not   
   so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that   
   sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom   
   came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the   
   door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,   
   open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.   
   Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of   
   man cometh. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far   
   country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And   
   unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every   
   man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then   
   he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and   
   made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also   
   gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth,   
   and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants   
   cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents   
   came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me   
   five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord   
   said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been   
   faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter   
   thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came   
   and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained   
   two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and   
   faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make   
   thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then he   
   which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou   
   art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou   
   hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the   
   earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto   
   him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I   
   sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to   
   have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have   
   received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give   
   it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be   
   given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be   
   taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant   
   into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. When the   
   Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then   
   shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered   
   all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd   
   divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right   
   hand, but the goats on the left."   
   Matthew 24:27-25:33, KJV   
      
   "Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,   
   Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,   
   and coming in the clouds of heaven."   
   Matthew 26:64, KJV   
      
   "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is   
   there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and   
   shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the   
   elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in   
   those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon   
   shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers   
   that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man   
   coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his   
   angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the   
   uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Now learn a   
   parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth   
   leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see   
   these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I   
   say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be   
   done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.   
   But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are   
   in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray:   
   for ye know not when the time is. 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. 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: Lest coming suddenly he   
   find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."   
   Mark 13:21-37, KJV   
      
   "But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked   
   him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And   
   Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand   
   of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."   
   Mark 14:61-62, KJV   
      
   "And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will   
   return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open   
   unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he   
   cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird   
   himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve   
   them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch,   
   and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the   
   goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have   
   watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye   
   therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think   
   not. Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or   
   even to all? And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward,   
   whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their   
   portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when   
   he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make   
   him ruler over all that he hath. But and if that servant say in his heart,   
   My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and   
   maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant   
   will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is   
   not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with   
   the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared   
   not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many   
   stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes,   
   shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him   
   shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they   
   will ask the more."   
   Luke 12:36-48, KJV   
      
   "He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive   
   for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and   
   delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his   
   citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have   
   this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned,   
   having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called   
   unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every   
   man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath   
   gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because   
   thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten   
   cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five   
   pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And   
   another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept   
   laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man:   
   thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not   
   sow. And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou   
   wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I   
   laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Wherefore then gavest not   
   thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine   
   own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the   
   pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him,   
   Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which   
   hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be   
   taken away from him. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should   
   reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."   
   Luke 19:12-27, KJV
