Luke 17:27
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
