Luke 17:18-28

18 "Was no one found who returned to 1give glory to God, except this foreigner?"
19 And He said to him, "Stand up and go; 2your faith has made you well."
20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees 3as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with 4signs to be observed;
21 nor will 5they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

28 "It was the same as happened in 12the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
