Luke 17:20-35

²⁰Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with careful observing.

²¹Neither will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For look, the kingdom of God is within you.”

²²He said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

²³Then they will say to you, 'Look, there! Look, here!' But do not go out or run after them,

²⁴for as the lightning shines brightly when it flashes from one part of the sky to another part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

²⁵But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

²⁶As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it also happen in the days of the Son of Man.

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

²⁸Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

²⁹But in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁰After the same manner it will be in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

³¹In that day, do not let him who is on the housetop go down to get his goods out of the house; and do not let him who is in the field return.

³²Remember Lot's wife.

³³Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will save it.

³⁴I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁵There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.”
