27. In the time of Noah, people were eating, drinking, and getting married even on the day when Noah entered the boat. Then the flood came and killed all the people.
28. It will be the same as during the time of Lot. Those people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building.
29. They were doing these things even on the day Lot left Sodom. Then fire and sulfur rained down from the sky and killed them all.
30. This is exactly how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.
31. “On that day, if a man is on his roof, he will not have time to go inside and get his things. If a man is in the field, he cannot go back home.
32. Remember what happened to Lot’s wife?
33. Whoever tries to keep his life will give up true life. But whoever gives up his life will have true life.
34. At the time when I come again, there may be two people sleeping in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35. There may be two women grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.
36. [Two men will be in the same field. One man will be taken, but the other man will be left behind.]”
37. The followers asked Jesus, “Where will this be, Lord?”Jesus answered, “People can always find a dead body by looking for the vultures.”
