Matthew 24:37–39

24:37 For just like the days of Noah54 were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 24:38 For in those days before the flood, people55 were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. 24:39 And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away.56 It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.57

54	sn Like the days of Noah, the time of the flood in Gen 6:5–8:22, the judgment will come as a surprise as people live their day to day lives.
55	tn Grk “they,” but in an indefinite sense, “people.”
56	sn Like the flood that came and took them all away, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.
57	tn Grk “So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
