Lightning that comes from the east can be seen in the west. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

闪电从东边发出，直照到西边。人子降临也要这样。

好像闪电从东边发出，直照到西边，人子来临也要这样。

好像闪电从东边发出，直照到西边，人子来临也要这样。

人子降临时的情形就像闪电从东方发出一直照到西方。

电光怎样从东方闪出来，一直照到西方，人子降临的时候，也是这样。

因为就像闪电从东边发出，直照到西边，人子的来临也将要这样。

閃電從東邊發出，直照到西邊。人子降臨也要這樣。

好像閃電從東邊發出，直照到西邊，人子來臨也要這樣。

好像閃電從東邊發出，直照到西邊，人子來臨也要這樣。

人子降臨時的情形就像閃電從東方發出一直照到西方。

電光怎樣從東方閃出來，一直照到西方，人子降臨的時候，也是這樣。

因為閃電怎樣從東邊發出，直照到西邊，人子之御臨也必這樣。

因為就像閃電從東邊發出，直照到西邊，人子的來臨也將要這樣。

蓋電閃於東、而見於西、人子之臨亦然、

猶電自東閃而至西、人子之臨、亦如是、

蓋猶電發自東而閃至西、人子降臨亦若是、

蓋正如電光發自東方、照徹西方、人子之臨、亦復如是。

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

When the Son of Man comes, he will be like the lightning. It flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.But first the Son of Man must suffer many things. He will not be accepted by the people of today.“ Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.People were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.“ It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking. They were buying and selling. They were planting and building.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven. And all the people were destroyed.“ It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is shown to the world.Suppose someone is on the housetop on that day. And suppose what they own is inside the house. They should not go down to get what they own. No one in the field should go back for anything either.Remember Lot’s wife!Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life will keep it.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed. One person will be taken and the other left.Two women will be grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other left.”

Then the Lord will appear over his people. His arrows will flash like lightning. The Lord and King will blow the trumpet of his thunder. He’ll march out like a storm in the south.

But who can live through the day when he comes? Who will be left standing when he appears? He will be like a fire that makes things pure. He will be like soap that makes things clean.

Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

“ I will send the prophet Elijah to you. He will come before the day of the Lord arrives. It will be a great and terrifying day.

They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

The Lord will cause people to hear his powerful voice. He will make them see his arm coming down to punish them. It will come down with burning anger and destroying fire. It will come down with rain, thunderstorms and hail.

He sends his lightning across the sky. It reaches from one end of the earth to the other.

They will say,“ Where is this‘ return’ he promised? Everything goes on in the same way it has since our people of long ago died. In fact, it has continued this way since God first created everything.”

Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you,‘ Here we are’?

Jesus replied,“ Foxes have dens. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives. There the disciples came to him in private.“ Tell us,” they said.“ When will this happen? And what will be the sign of your coming? What will be the sign of the end?”

You too must be patient. You must remain strong. The Lord will soon come back.
