36 But no one knows the day and the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

37 When the Son of Man comes, it will be as it was in the time of Noah.

38 In the days before the water covered the earth, people ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. Then one day Noah went into his house built on a boat.

39 The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.
