Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. (Mat 17:17 KJVR)

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. (Mat 23:36 KJVR)

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (Mat 24:34 KJVR)
