17 20 THE PHARISEES ASKED HIM, 'When will the kingdom of God come?' He said, 'You cannot tell by observation when the kingdom of God comes. 17 21 There will be no saying, "Look, here it is!" or "there it is!"; for in fact the kingdom of God is among you.'

17 22 He said to the disciples, 'The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 17 23 They will say to you, "Look! There!" and "Look! Here!" Do not go running off in pursuit. 17 24 For like the lightning-flash that lights up the earth from end to end, will the Son of Man be when his day comes. 17 25 But first he must endure much suffering and be repudiated by this generation. - The Unknown Day and Hour  Lk.17.26-30 (borders of Samaria)- Mt.24.36-44, Mk.13.32-37, Lk.17.34-36 | NEB Contents | notes

17 26 'As things were in Noah's days, so will they be in the days of the Son of Man. 17 27 They ate and drank and married, until the day that Noah went into the ark and the flood came and made an end of them all. 17 28 As things were in Lot's days, also: they ate and drank; they bought and sold; they planted and built; 17 29 but the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and made an end of them all - 17 30 it will be like that on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
17 31 'On that day the man who is on the roof and his belongings in the house must not come down to pick them up; he, too, who is in the fields must not go back. 17 32 Remember Lot's wife. 17 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses it will save it, and live. 17 34 'I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken, the other left.
17 35 There will be two women together grinding corn: one will be taken, the other left.' 17 36 Some manuscripts add: two men in the fields: one will be taken, the other left. 17 37 " When they heard this they asked, 'Where, Lord ?' He said, 'Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.'
