Luke 17:20-37

20 And he was asked of the Pharisees, when the realm of God cometh. And he answered to them, and said, The realm of God cometh not with espying,
21 neither they shall say, Lo! here, or lo[!] there; for lo! the realm of God is within you.
22 And he said to his disciples, Days shall come, when ye shall desire to see one day of man's Son, and ye shall not see.
23 And they shall say to you, Lo! here, and lo! there. Do not ye go, neither follow;
24 for as lightning shining from under heaven shineth into those things [shineth on those things] that be under heaven, so shall man's Son be in his day.
25 But first it behooveth him to suffer many things, and to be reproved of this generation.
26 And as it was done in the days of Noe, so it shall be in the days of man's Son.
27 They ate and drank, wedded wives, and were given to weddings, till into the day in which Noe entered into the ship; and the great flood came, and destroyed all [and lost all].
28 Also as it was done in the days of Lot, they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and builded;
29 but in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all [and lost all].
30 Like this thing it shall be [After this thing it shall be], in what day man's Son shall be showed.
31 In that hour he that is in the roof [In that day he that shall be in the roof], and his vessels in the house, come he not down to take them away; and he that shall be in the field [and he that is in the field], also turn not again behind.
32 Be ye mindful of the wife of Lot.
33 Whoever seeketh to make his life safe, shall lose it; and whoever loseth it, shall quicken it. [Whoever shall seek to make his life safe, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall quicken it.]
34 But I say to you [I say to you], in that night two shall be in one bed, one shall be taken, and the other [shall be] forsaken;
35 two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other forsaken [and the tother shall be forsaken];
36 two in a field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 They answer, and say to him, Where, Lord? Which said to them, Where ever the body shall be, thither shall be gathered together also the eagles. [They answering said to him, Where Lord? Which said to them, Where ever the body shall be, also the eagles shall be gathered together thither.]
