Context of Luke 17:35

33Whoever wants to keep his own life safe will lose it. But whoever gives his life to serve me will have true life. 34I tell you this. At that time, two men will be sleeping in one bed. God will take one of them away but he will leave the other man behind. Two women will be preparing food together in the same place. God will take one of them away but he will leave the other one behind.’ 37Jesus' disciples asked him, ‘Where will this happen?’ Jesus replied, ‘If a dead body is lying somewhere, vultures will come together in that place.’
