What did Jesus say about God's Timing?

¹ “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”

⁵⁴ “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.

⁵⁵ When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.

⁵⁶ You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

⁷ the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

²⁴ “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

²⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

²⁷ For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will give to everyone according to his deeds.

²⁸ Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

⁴⁴ “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁶ “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

³² “Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.

³³ Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.

³⁴ Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.

³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

⁴⁸ “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

⁴² “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

⁴³ For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

⁴⁴ and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

¹² “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

¹³ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”

¹⁶ “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

¹⁷ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.

¹⁷ “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

⁴⁸ “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

⁵¹ “Let me at least do this”

⁵² “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

²² “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

²³ “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”

¹⁹ “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.

²⁰ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

²¹ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.

²² No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”

² “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.

³ A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

⁴ He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,

⁵ yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”

⁶ “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

⁷ Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

⁸ I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

¹⁵ “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?”

¹⁶ “Mary.”

¹⁷ “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
