30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man (A)is revealed.

31 “In that day, he (B)who is on the housetop, and his [a]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 (C)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (D)Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 (E)I tell you, in that night there will be two [b]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (F)Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 [c]Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

37 And they answered and said to Him, (G)“Where, Lord?”

So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In 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.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
