Luke 17:20-37 ▼

20 And having been questioned by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God comes, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

22 And He said to His disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not behold [it];

23 and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;

24 for as the lightning is flashing out of one [part] under the sky [and] shines to the other [part] under the sky, so will the Son of Man also be in His day;

25 and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man;

27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed all;

28 in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

29 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.

30 According to these things it will be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

31 in that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, do not let him come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, do not let him turn backward;

32 remember the wife of Lot.

33 Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve it.

34 I say to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

35 two [women] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

36 [[two [men] will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left.”]]

37 And they answering say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.”
