17:20 God’s kingdom

(Mat. 24:23-28)

20 One time Yeshua was approached by some from the Pharisee party and asked when God’s kingdom is coming, and he answered, “The arrival of God’s kingdom is not some visible thing, 21 and they won’t be shouting, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’, because you see, God’s kingdom is inside you all.”

22 Then he told his followers, “The time will come when you’ll be wanting to see humanity’s child again even for a day, but you won’t see him. 23 Some people will tell you all, ‘Look, there he is!’ or ‘Hey, here he is!’ but don’t go looking or following them 24 because when humanity’s child returns, it’ll be like lightning that flashes from one side of the sky and shines right across to the other side. 25 However, before that he needs to suffer many things and to be rejected by this generation. 26 [ref]The time of the return of humanity’s child will be just like it was in Noah’s time: 27 [ref]people were eating and drinking, and getting engaged and married right until that day when Noah went into the barge and the flood came and destroyed everything. 28 [ref]It was similar in Lot’s time: people were eating and drinking, and buying and selling, and planting and building, 29 but on the day that Lot walked out of Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from the sky and destroyed everything. 30 So that’s how it will be when humanity’s child is revealed.

31 [ref]“On that day, anyone who’s just outside the house should not go back in to get their valuables. Similarly, anyone who’s out on the farm shouldn’t return to the house to get their possessions. 32 [ref]Don’t forget the disaster that happened to Lot’s wife. 33 [ref]Anyone who tries to save their live will lose it, and anyone who’s sacrificed their lifestyle, will retain life. 34 I’m telling you, two people will be in one bed on that night and one will be taken and the other one will be left behind. 35 Two people will be preparing food at the same place and one will be taken and the other one will be left behind.”

36 ◘ 37 “Where will this happen, master,” they asked.

“Where the body is,” he answered, “that’s where the vultures will be gathering.”

20 And having _been _asked by the Farisaios_party when the kingdom of_ the _god is _coming, he _answered to _them and said, the kingdom of_ the _god Is_ not _coming with observation, 21 nor will _they _be _saying:
Behold, here it _is, or:
There it _is.
For/Because see, the kingdom of_ the _god is inside of _you _all.
22 And he _said to the apprentices/followers:
Days will _be _coming when you _all _will _be _desiring to _see one of _the days of _the son of_ the _Man, and you _all will_ not _be _seeing it.
23 And they _will _be _saying to _you _all:
Behold, there he _is, or:
Behold, here he _is, you _all _may_ not _go _away nor you _all _may _pursue.
24 For/Because as the lightning flashing from the one _part under the sky is _shining to the one _part under sky, thus the son of_ the _man will _be.
25 But first it _is _fitting him to _suffer many things, and to _be _rejected by the this generation.
26 And as it _became in the days of _Nōe/(Noaḩ), thus it _will _be also in the days of _the son of_ the _Man:
27 they _were _eating, they _were _drinking, they _were _marrying, they _were _being _betrothed, until that day Nōe came _in into the box, and the flood came and destroyed all.
28 Likewise as it _became in the days of _Lōt/(Lōţ):
they _were _eating, they _were _drinking, they _were _buying, they _were _selling, they _were _planting, they _were _building, 29 but in _that day Lōt/(Lōţ) came _out from Sodoma/(Şədom), fire and brimstone rained from the_sky and destroyed all.
30 These things it _will _be according _to in _that day, the son of_ the _man is _being _revealed.
31 In that the day, who will _be on the housetop, and the goods of _him in his house, him _let_ not _come _down to _take _away them, and the one in the_field, likewise him _let_ not _return to the things back.
32 Be _remembering about _the wife of _Lōt/(Lōţ).
33 Whoever if may _seek to _procure the life of _him, will _be _losing it, and whoever wishfully may _lose it, will _be _keeping_ it _alive.
34 I _am _saying to _you _all, in _this the night will _be two on one bed, the one will _be _being _taken, and the other will _be _being _left.
35 Two will _be grinding at the same place, the one will _be _being _taken, and the the_other will _be _being _left.
36  37 And answering they _are _saying to _him:
Where, master?
And he said to _them:
Where the body is, there also the vultures will _be _being _gathered _together.
