Luke 17:20-37
20NowG1161 He was questionedG1905 by the PhariseesG5330 1as to whenG4219 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 was comingG2064, and He answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is not comingG2064 with 23signsG3907 thatG3907 canG3907 beG3907 observedG3907; 21norG3761 will 4they sayG3004, ‘LookG2400, hereG5602 it is!’ orG2228, ‘ThereG1563 it is!’ For beholdG2400, the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is 5in your midstG1787.”
22And He saidG3004 to the disciplesG3101, “6The daysG2250 will comeG2064 whenG3753 you will longG1937 to seeG3708 oneG1520 of the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of ManG444, and you will not seeG3708 it. 237And they will sayG3004 to you, ‘LookG2400 thereG1563,’ orG2228, ‘LookG2400 hereG5602!’ Do not leaveG565, and do not runG1377 afterG1377 them. 248For justG5618 likeG5618 the lightningG796, when it flashesG797 out of one part 9of the skyG3772, shinesG2989 to the other part 10of the skyG3772, soG3779 will the SonG5207 of ManG444 be in His dayG2250. 2511But firstG4413 He mustG1163 sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 and be rejectedG593 by thisG3778 generationG1074. 2612And justG2531 asG2531 it happenedG1096 13in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, soG3779 will it alsoG2532 be in the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of ManG444: 27people were eatingG2068, they were drinkingG4095, they were marryingG1060, and they were being givenG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, and the floodG2627 cameG2064 and destroyedG622 them allG3956. 2814It was the sameG3668 as happenedG1096 in 15the daysG2250 of LotG3091: they were eatingG2068, they were drinkingG4095, they were buyingG59, they were sellingG4453, they were plantingG5452, and they were buildingG3618; 29but on the dayG2250 that LotG3091 leftG1831 SodomG4670, it rainedG1026 fireG4442 and 16brimstoneG2303 from heavenG3772 and destroyedG622 them allG3956. 30It will be 17justG2596 the sameG846 on the dayG2250 that the SonG5207 of ManG444 18is revealedG601. 31On that dayG2250, the one whoG3739 will be 19on the 20housetopG1430, 21with hisG846 goodsG4632 in the houseG3614, must not goG2597 downG2597 to takeG142 them outG142; and likewiseG3668 the one in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694G1994. 3222RememberG3421 Lot’sG3091 wifeG1135. 3323WhoeverG3739G1437 strivesG2212 to 24saveG4046 his 25lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his life will keepG2225 it. 34I tellG3004 you, on that nightG3571 there will be twoG1417 in oneG1520 bedG2825; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863. 3526There will be twoG1417 women grindingG229 at the sameG846 place; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863. 36[2728TwoG1417 menG1417 will be in the fieldG68; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863.”] 37And respondingG611, they saidG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226, LordG2962?” And He saidG3004 to them, “29WhereG3699 the bodyG4983 is, thereG1563 alsoG2532 the 30vulturesG105 will be gatheredG1996.”
