Matthew 24:37

Read in context

Matthew 24:35–39 · Berean Standard Bible

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

39 And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
