Here it is in full context, and by the way, it's Luke 21 not 23.
Quote:Luke 21
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus had just finished describing to his disciples what the end of the world would be like.
What he means by "This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled" is that all those signs would occur within the lifetime of the generation that witness them.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
