Matthew 24:36-41

No One Knows That Day and Hour

36 "But concerning that day and hour g no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, h nor the Son, 1 i but the Father only. 37 j For as were the days of Noah, k so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 j For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, l marrying and giving in marriage, until m the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, k so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 n Two women will be grinding o at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
