²² Then He said to the disciples, ^(A)“The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. ^23 (B)And they will say to you, ^[a]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. ^24 (C)For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. ^25 (D)But first He must suffer many things and be ^(E)rejected by this generation. ^26 (F)And as it ^(G)was in the ^(H)days of ^(I)Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the ^(J)day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and ^(K)destroyed them all. ^28 (L)Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; ²⁹ but on ^(M)the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man ^(N)is revealed.
