On
that day, he who is up on the housetop, and his belongings downstairs
in the house should not go down for them. He who is in the field should
not turn back. Remember Lot's wife.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life
will save it. In that night there will be two sleeping in a bed; one
will be taken, the other will be left. Two women will be grinding meal
together; one will be taken, and the other left. Two men will be in the
field; one will be taken, and the other left. Then they asked Him,
Where, Lord? He said to them, Wherever the body is, there will also the
vultures be gathered.
18 Jesus told another parable. In a certain city, there was a
judge who feared neither God nor man. A widow in that city came to him
and said, Avenge me of my adversary. At first, the judge gave her no
attention. But afterward he said to himself, Though I do not fear God
nor man; I will avenge her because she bothers me and her continual
coming to me will wear me out.
The Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said. Shall God not avenge
His own elect, who cry day and night to Him, though He has great
patience with them? I tell you, He will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the
earth?
He spoke this parable to those who trusted in their own righteousness,
and despised others: Two men went into the temple to pray.
