23 And they shall say unto you, Behold, here, or, Behold, there, do not walk, nor chase,

24 For as the lightning flashing from one end of heaven shineth to the other end of heaven, so shall the Son of Man be in his day.

25 But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man:

27 And they ate, and drank, and married, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Just as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29 but in the day that Lot came out of Sodom, a rain of fire and brimstone poured down from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 so shall it be in the day that the Son of Man shall appear.

31 In that day, whoever is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them; and whoever is in the field, do not turn back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whoever saves his life will destroy it; but whoever destroys it will revive it.

34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two in the same bed, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

35 Two shall grind together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

36 Two will be on the field: one will take and the other will remain.

37 And they said to him, 'Where, Lord?' And he said to them, Where there is a carcass, there the eagles will be gathered.

1 And he also spake unto them a parable, that they ought to pray always, and not to lose heart,

2 saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor was he ashamed of men.

3 And there was a widow in the same city, and she came to him, saying, Defend me from my adversary.

4 But he didn't want to for a long time. And then he said to himself, Though I fear not God, nor am I ashamed of men,

5 But because this widow gives me no rest, I will protect her, that she may not come to trouble me any more.
