21. No one will say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’; because the Kingdom of God is within you.”
22. Then he said to the disciples, “The time will come when you will wish you could see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23. There will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, over there!’ or, ‘Look, over here!’ But don't go out looking for it.
24. As the lightning flashes across the sky and lights it up from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25. But first he must suffer much and be rejected by the people of this day.
26. As it was in the time of Noah so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man.
27. Everybody kept on eating and drinking, and men and women married, up to the very day Noah went into the boat and the flood came and killed them all.
28. It will be as it was in the time of Lot. Everybody kept on eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29. On the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heaven and killed them all.
30. That is how it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
