Luke 17:20-30

20Now having been questioned by the Pharisees 1as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with 23signs to be observed; 21nor will 4they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is 5in your midst.”

22And He said to the disciples, “6The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 237They will say to you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go away, and do not run after them. 248For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part 9of the sky, shines to the other part 10of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 2511But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 2612And just as it happened 13in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 2814It was the same as happened in 15the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 29but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and 16brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30It will be 17just the same on the day that the Son of Man 18is revealed.
