Luke 17:20-30

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.
