GOSPEL 

"The day when the Son of man will be revealed" 

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17, 26-37 

At that time

Jesus was saying to his disciples,

    “As it was in the days of Noah,

so will it be in the days of the Son of man.

    We ate, we drank, we took wives, we took husbands,

until the day Noah entered the ark

and the flood occurred which destroyed them all.

    It was the same in Lot's days:

we ate, we drank,

we bought, we sold,

we planted, we built;

    but on the day that Lot came out of Sodom,

a rain of fire and brimstone fell out of heaven, and

destroyed them all;

    it will happen the same way

on the day the Son of man is revealed.

    In that day, whoever is on his terrace

and has his things in his house,

let him not come down to take them away;

and likewise he who is in his field,

let him not turn back.

    Remember Lot's wife.

    Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it.

And whoever loses it will save it.

    I tell you:

That night, two people will be in the same bed:

one will be taken, the other left.

    Two women will be grinding grain together:

one will be taken, the other left. "

    Then taking the floor, the disciples asked him:

" Where then, Lord? "

He replied:

"Where the body will be,

there also the vultures will gather. "
