Luke 17:35

33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.

Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
