²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

³⁷ and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

³⁸ for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,

³⁹ and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.

⁴⁰ Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;

⁴¹ two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.

⁴² `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;
