Luke 17:26-37
Chapter 17
In those days, people ate, drank, and got married, but on the day Noah entered the ark, the flood came and destroyed them all.
Similarly, in the days of Lot: people ate, drank, bought, and sold, and they planted and built.
But on the day Lot left Sodom, God caused fire and sulfur to rain down from heaven, destroying everyone.
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, if you’re on the roof, don’t go down into the house to get your belongings; and if you happen to be in the fields, do not turn back.
Remember Lot’s wife!
Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever gives his life will find it.
I tell you, even if two men are sharing the same bed, it might happen that one will be taken and the other left;
even if two women are grinding meal together, one might be taken and the other left.

Then they asked Jesus:
“Where will this happen, Lord?”
And he answered:
“Where the body is, there the vultures will gather as well.”

Commentaries
The Coming of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus challenges the Pharisees’ expectations by proclaiming that the kingdom of God is already here and that the Son of Man has begun it. However, he warns that its fullness will not be reached until after his suffering and rejection by God’s enemies. He also warns about false messiahs who can deceive people with fake alarms. Instead, he urges his followers to experience and help others experience the work of the kingdom that is already in progress, just as yeast causes dough to rise.
