went forth Lot from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all. 30 According to the same things it will be in which day the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day who will be on the roof and the goods of him in the house, let him not come down to take them, and the one in a field likewise not let him turn back to the things behind. 32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks the life of him to preserve, he will lose it, and whoever will lose, will preserve it. 34 I tell you in this night there will be two men on couch one, the one will be taken and the other will be left 35 there will be two women grinding together; the one will be taken but the other will be left. 37 And answering they say to him. Where Lord? And he said to them: Where the body, there also the eagles will be gathered together.
