Hi everyone. Welcome back to logical Bible study. Thanks again for tuning in. This is the podcast

where we take a look at the gospel reading from today's Mass. We try to really pull it apart in the sense

of doing a verse-by-verse exegesis of the text. We're always faithful to the teaching of the

Magisterium, and we're trying to engage with the best scholarship to help us understand what Jesus

meant in his original context. We have a longer reading today, so we'll get straight into it. Luke

Chapter 17, verses 26 to 37.

Jesus said to the disciples, as it was in Noah's day, so will it also be in the days of the son of man.

People were eating and drinking, marrying wives and husbands right up to the day Noah went into the

ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. It will be the same as it was in Lott's

day. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day

that Lott left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.

It will be the same when the day comes for the Son of Man to be revealed.

When that day comes, anyone on the housetop with his possessions in the house, must not come down to collect them,

nor must anyone in the fields turn back

either remember lot's wife anyone who tries to preserve his life will lose it and

anyone who loses it will keep it safe I tell you on that night two will be in one bed

one will be taken the other that night two will be in one bed. One will be taken, the other left.

Two women will be grinding corn together.

One will be taken, the other left.

The disciples interrupted.

Where Lord? they asked.

He said, where the body is, there too, the vultures will gather.
