Luke 17:22-37

22Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

23And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.

24For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.

25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

31“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.

32Remember Lot’s wife.

33Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.

35Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.

36Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

37And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
