Context
17:24 For just like the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other , so will the Son of Man be in his day.
17:25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation .
17:26 Just as it was in the days of Noah , so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man .
17:27 People were eating , they were drinking , they were marrying , they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark . Then the flood came and destroyed them all .
17:28 Likewise , just as it was in the days of Lot , people were eating , drinking , buying , selling , planting , building ;
17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom , fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all .
17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed .
17:31 On that day , anyone who is on the roof , with his goods in the house , must not come down to take them away , and likewise the person in the field must not turn back .
17:32 Remember Lot’s wife !
17:33 Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it , but whoever loses his life will preserve it .
17:34 I tell you , in that night there will be two people in one bed ; one will be taken and the other left .
17:35 There will be two women grinding grain together ; one will be taken and the other left .”
17:36 [[EMPTY]]
17:37 Then the disciples said to him , “Where , Lord ?” He replied to them , “Where the dead body is, there the vultures will gather .”
