Luke 17:22-35
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
22 And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Lo, there!’ or ‘Lo, here!’ Do not go, do not follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of man be in his day.[a] 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was in the days of Lot—they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”[b]

Luke 17:22-35
New King James Version
22 Then He said to the disciples, (A)“The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (B)And they will say to you, [a]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 (C)For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 (D)But first He must suffer many things and be (E)rejected by this generation. 26 (F)And as it (G)was in the (H)days of (I)Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the (J)day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and (K)destroyed them all. 28 (L)Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on (M)the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man (N)is revealed.
31 “In that day, he (O)who is on the housetop, and his [b]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 (P)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (Q)Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 (R)I tell you, in that night there will be two [c]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (S)Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.
