Luke 17:21-36
New American Standard Bible
22And He said to the disciples, 'The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23And they will say to you, ‘Look there,’ or, ‘Look here!’ Do not leave, and do not run after them.
24For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.
25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man:
27people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building;
29but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day, the one who will be on the housetop, with his goods in the house, must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one in the field must not turn back.
32Remember Lot’s wife.
33Whoever strives to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will keep it.
34I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
35There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.
36[ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.']
King James Version
Chapter 17
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32Remember Lot's wife. 33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
21no one will say, ‘See here!’ or ‘There!’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst."
22Then he told the disciples: "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.
23They will say to you, ‘See there!’ or ‘See here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.
24For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
25But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:
27People went on eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.
29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
30It will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31On 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.
32Remember Lot’s wife!
33Whoever tries to make his life secure will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34I tell you, on that night two will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
35Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."

New Living Translation
22Then he said to his disciples, 'The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns, but you won’t see it.
23People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them.
24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes.
25But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation.
26When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
27In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business — eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building —
29until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home.
32Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!
33If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.
34That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
35Two women will be grinding flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. '

30so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
32Remember Lot 's wife.
33Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.

31On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.
32Remember Lot’s wife!
33Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

21nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
