Luke 17:20-35

²⁰And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not in such a manner as to be watched for;

²¹nor will they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

²²And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and will not see it.

²³And they will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.

²⁴For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of man be in his day.

²⁵But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.

²⁶And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of the Son of man.

²⁷They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁹but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

³⁰Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

³¹In that day, let not him who is upon the house-top, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back.

³²Remember Lot's wife.

³³Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will preserve it.

³⁴I tell you, In that night there will be two men on one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁵Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.
