36 "No one knows when that day or hour will come—not the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father.

37 For just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.

38 In those days before the flood, peoplewere eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.

39 They were unaware of what was happeninguntil the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.
