17:
22-37 He said to his disciples. "The days will come
when you will long to see the days of the Son of man and you will not see
them. And they will say to you. "Look there. Look here." But do not go away nor follow. For as the lightning flashes in one part
of the sky and lights up to the other part of it, so will it be in the day
of the Son of man. But first it behoves him to suffer many things and to be rejected by
this generation. And, as it was in
the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of man. For they were eating drinking, marrying
and giving in marriage until the day when Noah went into the ark. Then came the flood and destroyed
all. Likewise as it was in the days
of Lot.
They were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. But on
the day that Lot went out from Sodom
it

rained
fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all. So it will be in the same way on the day
when the Son of man is revealed. In
that day whoever is on the roof and has his goods in the house, let him not
come down to take them. Likewise for
the one in a field. Let him not turn
back to the things left behind.
Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life, will
lose it. Whoever will lose it will
preserve it. I tell you this very
night there will be two men on the
one couch. The one will be taken
and the other will be left. There
will be two women grinding together.
The one will be taken and the other will be left. And so answering him (Jesus) they (the
disciples) say. "When
Lord?" And he said to them. "Where the body is, there also the
eagles will be gathered together."
