42:017:025 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
42:017:026 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
42:017:027 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
42:017:028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
42:017:029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
42:017:030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
42:017:031 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.
42:017:032 Remember Lot's wife.
42:017:033 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
42:017:034 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.
42:017:035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42:017:036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42:017:037 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.
42:018:001 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
42:018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
42:018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
42:018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
42:018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
42:018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
42:018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
42:018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
42:018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
42:018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
42:018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
42:018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
42:018:013 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
42:018:014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
42:018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
