30 When G3752 they now G2235 shoot forth, G4261 ye see G991 and know G1097 of G575 your own selves G1438 that G3754 summer G2330 is G2076 now G2235 nigh at hand. G1451
31 So G3779 likewise G2532 ye, G5210 when G3752 ye see G1492 these things G5023 come to pass, G1096 know ye G1097 that G3754 the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is G2076 nigh at hand. G1451
32 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 G3754 This G3778 generation G1074 shall G3928 not G3364 pass away, G3928 G302 till G2193 all G3956 be fulfilled. G1096
33 Heaven G3772 and G2532 earth G1093 shall pass away: G3928 but G1161 my G3450 words G3056 shall G3928 not G3364 pass away. G3928
