Matthew 24:37-39

→Bible→New Testament→Matthew
KJV

³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Literal Reading

This passage is cited here as "accepting" events of early Genesis as literally true. See comment here — but, literal or not, it is certainly a good example of sudden judgement that is unexpected and well deserved, which was exactly what was needed in the context of Matthew's gospel. —BP
