## Matthew 24:40 in Context (Verses 37–43 KJV)
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/24/37) But as the days of Noe *were*, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/24/38) 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 ](/kjv/matthew/24/39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/matthew/24/40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/matthew/24/41) Two *women shall be* grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/matthew/24/42) ¶ Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/matthew/24/43) But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
 
[Matthew 23](/kjv/matthew/23) [Matthew 25](/kjv/matthew/25)
