20When the Pharisees questioned him about when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation."21Nor will people say, "Look, here," or, "Look, there," for the kingdom of God is inside you.22Then he said to the disciples, "Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, yet you will not see it."23They will say to you, "Look, there," or, "Look, here"; do not go away, nor pursue.24For just as the lightning flashes and shines from one side of the sky to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.25First, however, he must suffer much and be rejected by this generation.26And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.27They were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.28Likewise, just as it happened in the days of Lot, they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.29But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.30It will be the same on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.31On that day, anyone who is on the housetop with his vessels in the house must not come down to take them, and anyone in the field must not turn back.32Remember Lot's wife.33Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.35Two women will be grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other left.36Two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.37They answered and said to him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered."
