Luke 17:22-37
World English Bible
22 He said to the disciples, “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 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them, 24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day. 25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, even 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 from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left. 35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.” 36 [a]
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?”
He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”

Christian Standard Bible
22 Then he told the disciples, “The days are coming(A) when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.(B) 23 They will say to you,(C) ‘See there!’ or ‘See here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.(D) 24 For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.(E) 25 But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.(F)
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(G) so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: 27 People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage(H) until the day Noah boarded the ark,(I) and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot:(J) People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. 29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed(K) them all. 30 It(L) will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(M) 31 On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(N) 33 Whoever tries to make his life secure[a][b] will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.(O) 34 I tell you, on that night(P) two will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”[c]
37 “Where, Lord?” (Q) they asked him.
He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there also the vultures(R) will be gathered.”
