Luke 17:22-37
1599 Geneva Bible
22 [a]And he said unto the disciples, the days will come, when ye shall desire to see [b]one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 (A)[c]Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or behold there: but go not thither, neither follow them.
24 For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things and be reproved of this generation.
26 (B)[d]And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man.
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, and gave in marriage unto the day that Noah went into the Ark: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 (C)Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 After these examples shall it be in the day when the son of man revealed.
31 [e]At that day he that is upon the house, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it out: and he that is in the field likewise, let him not turn back to that he left behind.
32 (D)Remember Lot’s wife.
33 (E)Whosoever will seek to save his soul, shall loose it: and whosoever shall loose it, shall [f]get it life.
34 (F)I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shall be received, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 Two shall be in the field: one shall be received, and another shall be left.
37 [g]And they answered, and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, (G)Wheresoever the body is, thither shall also the eagles be gathered together.
