17:20 Now at one point 4 the Pharisees 5 asked Jesus 6 when the kingdom of God 7 was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs 8 to be observed, 17:21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is 9 in your midst.” 10
17:22 Then 11 he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days 12 of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 17:23 Then people 13 will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ 14 or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go out or chase after them. 15 17:24 For just like the lightning flashes 16 and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 17 17:25 But first he must 18 suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 17:26 Just 19 as it was 20 in the days of Noah, 21 so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. 17:27 People 22 were eating, 23 they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then 24 the flood came and destroyed them all. 25 17:28 Likewise, just as it was 26 in the days of Lot, people 27 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. 28 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, 29 with his goods in the house, must not come down 30 to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back. 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife! 31 17:33 Whoever tries to keep 32 his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life 33 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. 34 17:35 There will be two women grinding grain together; 35 one will be taken and the other left.”
17:36 [[EMPTY]] 3617:37 Then 37 the disciples 38 said 39 to him, “Where, 40 Lord?” He replied to them, “Where the dead body 41 is, there the vultures 42 will gather.” 43
