When you are treated badly in one city, go to another city. I tell you the truth. You will not finish going to all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man {\cf2\super [129]} comes again.
Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. {\cf2\super [364]} The followers came to be alone with Jesus. They said, “Tell us when these things will happen. And what will happen to show us that it is time for you to come again and time for the world {\cf2\super [365]} to end?”
Jesus answered, “Yes, I am. But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man {\cf2\super [418]} sitting at the right side of God. And you will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes to live in. The birds have nests to live in. But the Son of Man {\cf2\super [96]} has no place where he can rest his head.”
Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Some of you people standing here will see the kingdom of God come before you die. The kingdom of God will come with power.”
I tell you, God will help his people quickly! But when the Son of Man {\cf2\super [282]} comes again, will he find people on earth who believe in him?”
The Jews said to Jesus, “Now we know that you have a demon {\cf2\super [143]} in you! Even Abraham {\cf2\super [144]} and the prophets {\cf2\super [145]} died. But you say, ‘The person that obeys my teaching will never die.’
The two men said to the apostles, “Men from Galilee, why are you standing here looking into the sky? You saw Jesus carried away from you into heaven. He will come back in the same way you saw him go.”
But every man will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. Then when Christ comes again, the people who belong to Christ will be raised to life.
You began waiting for God’s Son to come from heaven. God raised that Son from death. He is Jesus, who saves us from God’s angry judgment that is coming.
For a short time Jesus was made lower than the angels, but now we see him wearing a crown of glory and honor because he suffered and died. Because of God’s grace (kindness) Jesus died for every person.
Brothers and sisters, be patient; the Lord \{Jesus\} will come. So be patient until that time. Farmers are patient. A farmer waits for his valuable crop to grow up from the earth. A farmer waits patiently for his crop to receive the first rain and the last rain. {\cf2\super [26]}
We told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. We told you about his coming. Those things we told you were not just smart stories that people invented. No! We saw the greatness of Jesus with our own eyes.
Yes, my dear children, live in him. If we do this, we can be without fear (have confidence) on the day when Christ comes back. We will not need to hide and be ashamed when he comes.
