20
Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the kingdom of God come?" Jesus answered, "God's kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes.
21
People will not say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' because God's kingdom is withinn you."
22
Then Jesus said to his followers, "The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it.
23
People will say to you, 'Look, there he is!' or, 'Look, here he is!' Stay where you are; don't go away and search.
24
"When the Son of Man comes again, he will shine like lightning, which flashes across the sky and lights it up from one side to the other.
25
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by the people of this time.
26
When the Son of Man comes again, it will be as it was when Noah lived.
27
People were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving their children to be married until the day Noah entered the boat. Then the flood came and killed them all.
28
It will be the same as during the time of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building.
29
But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from the sky and killed them all.
30
This is how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.
31
"On that day, a person who is on the roof and whose belongings are in the house should not go inside to get them. A person who is in the field should not go back home.
33
Those who try to keep their lives will lose them. But those who give up their lives will save them.
34
I tell you, on that night two people will be sleeping in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
35
There will be two women grinding grain together; one will be taken, and the other will be left."
37
The followers asked Jesus, "Where will this be, Lord?" Jesus answered, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."
