In the days before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up to the very day Noah went into the boat;

yet they did not realize what was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

As it was in the time of Noah so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man.

The mob was trying to kill Paul, when a report was sent up to the commander of the Roman troops that all of Jerusalem was rioting.
