Context of Luke 17:28
26And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man: 27they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them]; and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]: 30after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
