Context of Luke 17:26

24For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day. 25But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: 27People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.
