Luke 17:28-37

Expanded Bible

²⁸ It will be the same as ·during the time [^Lin the days] of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building. ²⁹ But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and ·sulfur [^Tbrimstone] rained down from ·the sky [heaven] and ·killed [destroyed] them all [Gen. 19]. ³⁰ This is how it will be ·when [^Lthe day] the Son of Man ·comes again [^Lis revealed].

³¹ “On that day, a person who is on the roof [^Croofs were typically flat and used as extra rooms] and whose belongings are in the house should not ·go inside [^Lcome down] to get them. A person who is in the field should not ·go back home [^Lturn back]. ³² Remember Lot’s wife [^Cwho was judged for longingly looking back at Sodom; Gen. 19:15–17, 26]. ³³ Those who try to ·keep [preserve; keep secure] their lives will lose them. But those who ·give up [lose; let go of] their lives will save them. ³⁴ I tell you, on that night two people will be sleeping in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. ³⁵ There will be two women grinding grain together; one will be taken, and the other will be left. |³⁶ Two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and the other will be left.|”^[a]

³⁷ ·The followers [^LThey] asked Jesus, “·Where will this be [^LWhere], Lord?”

Jesus answered, “Where there is a ·dead body [corpse], there the vultures will gather [^Cthe carnage will make the place of judgment obvious to all].”
